Not everyone in the world is as addicted to TV as Americans (and especially some who post here). Some households have only (gasp!) ONE television! Hi-def isn't even on most people's radar here or abroad, despite the marketing hype. And at&t isn't trying to sell their IPTV service in these countries, or to these one tv households, so I fail to see how this really is relevant. I guess the point you're making is maybe the Swiss don't watch much TV, and only have one TV, so the Swisscom system works for them.
Well I suspect that even in Switzerland the system will be bandwidth strangled, and for at&t here, their blueprint is even more flawed. I'm currently an at&t DSL subscriber, and have one of their fastest packages, yet there's no way the could stream me HD without say building out FFTH.
