it sure brings in the many advantages for the TV fans, specially features like crystal clear and sharp images, video on demand (yes peoples would be able to see various movies DVDs @ reasonable charge) however still IPTV is in the testing phase and saying anything before seeing a demo would be wrong..

yeah sort of, basically peoples will be able to see HD quality and the features like Video on Demand i-e pay a small fee to view the movie of your choice anytime (ofcourse you need to select one from the available videos library) for a good example, checkout ShowTime, it's something similar to it!

Its a good news that PTV is takin such step. I think now we are also gettin ahead slowly in the era of technology.But after a test or an experience can only show that whether they are HDTV or not. They better not use the quality Like you tube does. Calling it a Paki HDTV :)

isn't IPTV supposed to be like TiVO or something where you ONLY pay for the channels you want and there are a LOT of channels to choose from?
maybe i'm wrong.
r it coud be like the GO4B thing which IMO is awesome!

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
