Streaming IPTV over the internet is not going to happen any time soon.
However, cached VOD - you could roll that out right now using a p2p
delivery engine and compressing the heck out of all the content using
H264. However, the only way to make it somewhat work is to drop drone
seeders at the local user POPs, i.e. the provider needs to create a p2p
skeleton network so it can work for user #1.
It dumbfounds me that people still look to this model of 'webcasting' as
the prime method to deliver TV over the internet. Have usage habits of
people using the internet shown us nothing?
