Will IPTV revolutionise the Television world..??

Convergence is the key word. Convergence of systems, convergence of networks and then the convergence of end user devices.

Not too far in the future, we will have common device in our home and office with TV, Computer and Phone, all rolled into one. 

As BWA becomes available, accessible and affordable to all, sitting in front of the TV, we can see each other and talk, can do video chat with frineds and relatives, can do most of our office work from home itself.  

Yes IPTV will revolutionize the TV World, but in this wireless demanding world i think WIMAX  will be more effective then providing IPTV on broadband.For IPTV,line connection is essential which is now-days decreasing constantly so it can be a big hurdle.Providing IPTV on WIMAX will enhance the reach to remote areas where DTH is now making money.

I understand that nobody will like to watch TV with jitter but now with IP technology there are methods/protocols by which we can get the same Qos,same kind of reliabilty which we can get from any other technology. Even you can reserve the bandwidth and the path for these packets so I think that will not be blocking point.

For VoD we will not start seeing the movie/frames as they got transmitted to our level, the home setbox has a good storage and it can store at least a good amount of frames and after that we can start seeing so no question of jitter. For TV multicasting operator can fix a premium Qos for the frames

I think if somebody is getting all features in the same umbrella why should he will not go for that.

Video On Demand,TV Multicasting,IP Phones,Internet,Online Gaming evthing within the same box

Don't you think it will really be a enthrallment if we can play online games with our friends who can be located at any place of the world.
We can do a multicast within a society (or for example within any CUG) and data traffic of that society will be local and will not go through the core Nw, no heavy cost involved.....

I think generally people make a comfort zone around them and are always reluctant to new things but slowly when they realize they are paying nearly the same amount I think definitley they will go.
