OK ... first we see a bit of a big announcement from MySpace and the creation of a viral video promotion ... seems like a proof of concept in the making!
Then comes VH1 allowing Syndication of their content via their player on consumers pages - so now we have integration from VH1 and the average joe ! This gives potential to a next stage for a "build your own playlist".
Portugal Telecom, T-Com, Telekomunikacja Polska are all launching IPTv services within a triple or quadruple play ...
One interesting piece of news - Korea’s HanaTV signs 50,000 early VOD subscribers: "In the first two months after its launch in late July, Hanaro Telecom, the South Korean telco, had already attracted 50,000 subscribers to its new VOD-based IPTV service. Thirty-five per cent of customers for the movie-driven service were new to the company, with the remainder coming from Hanaro’s existing base of residential broadband and telephony subscribers. Hanaro Telecom has acquired a massive 22,000 ondemand titles, totaling 16,000 hours from 50 content providers including Sony Pictures Television International, Walt Disney Television and CJ Entertainment."
Another interesting piece is the fact that "Software vendors use IBC to showcase new releases; most use standardised open interfaces", it is good to see that there is some standardisation in the IPTv arena - rather than all the proprietary interfaces that have plagued other types of solutions, IPTv products seem to be heading towards an approach based on building blocks.
