Net Neutrality is a govt. regulation that is supposed to regulate free access. Who killed that? It is Wall St. greed and corruption that sticks it's DIRTY MONEY into our democracy and overturns all fair measure at every opportunity. Regulation and taxation doesn't kill free markets, monopoly and corruption kills free markets! M. Ward, please give us a break, will you?

IPTV is no more "Cable TV" than YouTube is. Internet Protocol (the same transport mechanism that this post is using) is NOT TV. There is no "tuner" involved in IPTV (there is, merely, the reception of the encoded Audio/Video stream from the "Internet"). There is NO (technical) reason that a home computer (with NO additional hardware) could not receive and "play" an IPTV stream (either "live" or from the DVR). This is NOT the case with "Cable" (or even Satellite) TV. Other than the bandwidth of the Internet connection to one's house, there is no limit to the number of simultaneous IPTV "signals" which could be received/processed in a single home. This is just another case of Government wishing to stick their regulatory fingers (and taxation policies) into the noses (or other body cavities) of WE, THE PEOPLE (and the companies which offer us goods and services).
