IPTV is all set to launch..!! With IPTV, apart from just watching television, one can use the television as a two way media to interact with the world.

According to experts, IPTV is a complementary way of transmission of entertainment, data and interactive communication. So far in the evolution of television, there has been only one way of communication, but the IPTV promises an interactive way of viewing television.

Is IPTV all set to revolutionize the way the television is working now.??

I feel that IPTV will Revolutionise the Television world. It will change our lifestyles and allow us to be more interactive. As professionals say "Asia recorded the highest number of acceptance for it, compared to the developed countries. Of the 1.27 million connection (in Asia) last year, India and China had a lion share of that."

IPTV will provide services like Video on Demand (VOD), voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) or digital phone and Web access, collectively referred to as Triple Play. With so many attractive features it will surely dominate the television world...!!

"In 1994, ABC's World News Now was the first television show to be broadcast over the Internet, using the CU-SeeMe videoconferencing software.[1]

The term IPTV first appeared in 1995 with the founding of Precept Software by Judith Estrin and Bill Carrico. Precept designed and built an internet video product named "IP/TV". IP/TV was an MBONE compatible Windows and Unix based application that moved single and multi-source audio/video traffic, ranging from low to DVD quality, using both unicast and IP multicast RTP/RTCP. The software was written primarily by Steve Casner, Karl Auerbach, and Cha Chee Kuan. Precept was acquired by Cisco Systems in 1998.[2] Cisco retains the "IP/TV" trademark". (courtesy: Wikipedia)

The idea of having TV broadcast on your PC is indeed thrilling. But for me TV is a medium to unwind, spend a little laugh time with the family and thats it! I certainly do not see myself using VoD, VOIP or any such services asking for Music, Downloading et al!

"IPTV is sensitive to packet loss and delays if the streamed data is unreliable. IPTV has strict minimum speed requirements in order to facilitate the right number of frames per second to deliver moving pictures. This means that the limited connection speed/bandwidth available for a large IPTV customer base can reduce the service quality delivered". (courtesy: Wikipedia)

The success of IPTV would be a more teeny thing rather than for matured audiences. Thats my opinion.

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.

Start-ups like Portola are developing management tools for content providers who want to bypass the traditional cable and satellite distribution models and deliver directly to consumers via Internet. A web site called Bollywood.tv, which uses EdgeStream's technology, launched a service that offers more than 730 Indian movies over the internet. Internet search companies like Google are also getting into the internet TV business. Recently Google has launched a new Web-based video search service, which allows people to use keywords to search the company's indexed database of video from content providers. IPTV HAS TWO MAJOR ARCHITECTURE FORMS: free and fee based. As of January 2006, there are over 1,200 free IPTV channels available world-wide. This sector is growing rapidly, and major television broadcasters are transmitting their broadcast signal over the internet. These free IPTV channels only require an internet connection and an internet enabled device such as a personal computer, iPod, HDTV connected to a computer or even a 3G cell phone to watch the IPTV broadcasts.

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.
