Sports are definately a major challenge in some markets (well most) I think the whole future of IPTV will transition from multicast style delivery to typical set top boxes into apps as someone already mentioned. Basically, your existing devices in the house (PS4, Xbox One, Computer, Tablet, Phone) will become your “TV hub” via unicast delivery. This will cut down on a dozen different boxes in your home and “unify” your media streaming, OTT providers (i.e. netflix, youtube), and your linear programming content (TV).
Significant challenges in doing this but it’s here now in some markets/services and growing … a lot of “regulatory” stuff in the way currently too > On Oct 23, 2016, at 9:07 AM, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Football* > > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions <http://www.ics-il.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> > <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> > <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> > Midwest Internet Exchange <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> > <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> > The Brothers WISP <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> > > > <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> > From: "CBB - Jay Fuller" <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2016 8:06:15 AM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Iptv > > > > I am pretty sure in our market - we will not fly without some kind of tv > package. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Josh Reynolds <mailto:[email protected]> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2016 1:11 AM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Iptv > > The service we rolled out was identical to any cable system - but > better.
