IPTV Promises Meet Realty

Hello again,

This next post is in regards to IPTV. IPTV is Internet Protocol TV. It is slowly being rolled out in a few American markets. The service itself runs over fiber optics lines and is hoping to be the future of TV. In this article, AT&T has teamed up with Microsoft to develop and release their first version of IPTV. The hope down the line is that the Internet capabilities of IPTV will lead to a greater interactive experience with television.

This article mainly discusses AT&Ts release strategies for the service. As of now, their main goal is to simply stay competitive with local cable operators in terms of pricing and channel offerings. As time goes on, they will start introducing some of their fancier interactive services.
