| I guess the definitions here are a bit blurry for me.
I just read this: "The set-top box is the subscriber interface to the TVoIP system, receiving the media stream and decoding it for display on a television set." from that PDF. Is that not what Verizon's FiOS and what AT&T's U-verse does?
I guess what needs to be clarified is...Software IPTV (TVoIP) and hardware.
Software solutions would include services like Joost.
Hardware solutions would be services like Verzon's FiOS and AT&T's U-verse that requires the use of a set top box.
I may be far off base here though, and if I am, please correct me. |
