Re: One at a time? Simply not enough....

Switzerland's telecom infrastructure is sophisticated, but is there really a big point to IPTV over ADSL if there's only one channel available? I suspect that most subscribers would prefer to boost their data speeds with that bandwidth, rather than get a single channel.

If people have a TV + computer the prospect of saying "Would you mind turning off the TV, we're trying to download something!" would seem to discourage large-scale long-term adoption. This kind of service will only be able to hold the line until new copper tech is invented, or a competitor just deploys something better. Gov't regulation will probably be needed to stop that.
