On the technical side, companies like AT&T (formerly SBC Communications) and BellSouth are being hampered by the much-talked about delay (at least reported in the trade press) of Microsoft's IPTV product. AT&T, BellSouth and others, including telcos around the globe, have a lot riding on the software giant's developing video technology."
