Hi Stony
I'm not sure the question is using open-source products or
not, but rather open standards or not.
Ok, there are lots of open source products implementing
the standards... but also commercial, closed, products
implementing them, with support, with free wellness weekends
and so on. The thing is that because it uses standards, you
can compose your solution with bricks from different vendors.
For example, if you take VLC, either client or server,
it is really not stable enough to be used in production
environment (and some 3play providers tested it without
success). But "proprietary" DVB to IP or Whatever to IP
mpeg streaming stable solutions exist.

Great article.
I've been wondering for a long time, why Swisscom would rather go with MS than
with an open-source based solution. There's plenty of great open-source
projects in the video-streaming and media-center sector. The cost to hire a few
capable developers to create a consumer-friendly package from these OSS would
probably be a lot less, than the licences for Microsoft software alone...
Ah, who cares about money at Swisscom anyway...

Zitat von Andre Oppermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Very interesting article about Micro$soft's half-baked IPTV solution.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/01/ms_iptv_strategy_in_tatters/
Explains in clear technical words why Swisscom's attempt at IPTV is
broken and delayed yet another year, if it will ever fly.
