I did not realize the association.

Yes they do. It’s called real choice.

When you say "We", do you mean that ServerPlus has an IPTV solution?
Is this something you're reselling?

There are 2 types of licensing, MVPD and OTT. MVPD is closed network
only, and allows all content to be distributed via that closed
network (all locals, all content on those locals). OTT is over the
open internet but does not generally include the ability to provide
all content (some channels are available, some are not, some channels
black out certain content). One big difference as well is that OTT
requires that we sign deals with huge monthly minimums, as much as I
wish I had the cash that Google and Sony have I simply don't so we
decided to stick with the MVPD model.

Well, the are all allowing all the other streamers to deliver it via
the public internet, why not RCTV?
Does not seem fair to discriminate against the smaller companies like
this.

I agree that a VPN makes plenty of sense. I get why they do it but it
adds an expense that may take me a good bit of time to recover.
Thanks,

That is not by choice. The content providers all have a different
tolerance as to how their product is piped around. RealChoice could
drop it and probably ship the product over the public internet and
never get caught, however they risk losing channels if they ever get
caught.
Not sure what their current deal is, when I was working with them I
was trying to get the programmers to allow content via VPN or VLAN
over VPN (silly, right) over the public internet. Some of them
were OK with it.

RealChoice would be a great option if they would drop their private
line requirement.

Hi,
I wanted to see if any of you are offering IPTV to your customers.
If
so, are any of you using either RodeoTV or RealChoice TV as the
wholesale provider? Can any of you provide feedback, thoughts,
experiences, etc. on either provider?
Thanks,
