   Don’t you think the real future of such services depends heavily on their ability to bring the content to the real TV, and enable more passive and couch potato experience?

   I see more logic in client PC services and extension to the TV.

   Will be happy to hear your view

   I completely agree — and that is why this is so good.

   It integrates with third party devices so the content could potentially end up on a regular TV set.

   Its all part of the ongoing convergence of the internet and TV. I’ve talked about it a few times – here is one I can think of:

   [...] The beta testing will be launched next month, and that should give us a better idea of whether BBTV is going to be a serious contender to Joost, Mogulus, WiTV and VeohTV or not. [...]

   Mumble mumble.. If it’s flash based, the publisher will need a very big infrastructure and a very big bandwidth to manage the streams. Especially for the HD streams… The p2p solutions are fantastic for scalability and bandwidth performance… I think it will be another “advanced flash video player”… Cheers

   I agree with chicago. p2p is one of the most “smart” stuff of the web! Use it instead of obsolete client/server architectue… IPTV is the future? OK! Let’s use solutions that look forward to the future!

   [...] WiTV, questo è il suo nome, è un progetto tutto italiano della CrossCast Systems che sta attirando l’interesse di molti siti specializzati, come WebTvWire.

    [...] Al final del artículo de WebTvWire comentan que al igual que joost,y otros competidores, WiTV tendrá problemas seguramente para conseguir contenidos. De hecho en un anterior artículo, comentaban que en principio WiTv lucharía contra Joost en la carrera por contenidos por parte de los grandes media como FOX o Sony por ejemplo. [...]

    Does WiTv can scale up to millions users. Without a efficient P2P they will face a real problem ! It is why Joost can become better because with time they will always provide better quality.

    Joost, Babelgum, ViewOn.Tv are peer to peer Tv, it is the only way to provide world Tv service today !

12. The Collision of Traditional Television and IPTV at RipCode Blog Says:

    [...] Television has traditionally been distributed by cable or satellite systems.  Internet television or IPTV uses the Internet to deliver video from a source to a target device such as a Web browser or set-top box.   Joost, VeohTV, WiTV, Babelgum and, most recently, Microsoft Internet TV are some of the prominent players jostling for market share in this rapidly emerging space.  Additionally, sites such as YouTube Mobile and MySpace TV, two top online destinations, will continue to drive traffic and generate demand for online/mobile video consumption.  (Brightcove has a good summary of why Internet TV matters.)   The recent public beta of Joost, a raising star in this space, has generated a fair share of media coverage about the realities of Internet TV.  The big question: Is the promise of high quality and snazzy user interface enough to pry eyeballs from traditional TV to Internet TV?  Neither Brad Stone at Bits nor Michael Garrett at Web TV Wire seem impressed with Joost—citing bandwidth problems, overloaded P2P architecture, and general lack of incentive for users to interrupt Web browsing to watch Internet TV.   Liz Gannes at NewTeeVee posted a great video interview with CEO Mike Volpiwho noted that Joost is targeted at the early adopters, not the mainstream TV consumer.   This is fair commentary from the end user perspective.  From RipCode’s perspective, we feel that Internet TV has already made significant inroads in capturing television eyeballs.  The fact that a user-submitted YouTube parodyon Brittney Spears can secure over 10 million views in less than two weeks, thus rivaling the viewership metrics on an average prime-time television program, is a phenomenon that is hard to ignore.  [...]
