The other day I talked about how Bill Gates was bigging up the future of TV using internet technology. Microsoft is already well placed in the IPTV arena and its IPTV platform is being used by a large number of TV providers including big names like AT&T, BT and Verizon. CE Pro has an awesome table showing all of the companies using Microsoft’s IPTV platform and what these companies are doing. Below is a summary…

The Consumer Electronics Show 2007 (CES2007) has kicked off today bringing us a flood of technology announcements and new hi-tech products that will be hitting the market this year.

Among the announcements is that AT&T has teamed up with Akimbo to offer the Akimbo Video on Demand service to AT&T Homezone subscribers. While this is not the biggest news from the CES today it is worth mentioning as this news will be otherwise overshadowed by the other big announcements coming out of CES this week.
