I am starting to think the business case is slowly evaporating for IPTV. I have Sling TV and Sony Playstation Vue at home along with my TIVO. There is little doubt the OTT providers have the best value but the interface and remotes still leave something to be desired.
My IPTV solution requires VPN, preferably VLAN to the headend and it uses plenty of bandwidth. There is little margin in it and it is losing its ability to compete with OTT. Plus, if it has problems you get the black eye.

For a fiber co, its great. Chuck has/had a thing he was looking at that works like Netflix as far as how it streams that MIGHT work for SOME WISPs.
