RECENTLY SILENCE

Im predicting that telcos are waiting for the completion of DVB-T2 due to the fact that DVB-H can be delivered over a pre-existing DVB-T network (digital terrestrial broadcast). Moreover, DVB-H is designed to be combined with DVB-T networks.

SAD STORY :
The end of cable TV

Mega TV launched by TV3 in 1994. Failed and closed in 2001 Mega TV was Malaysia's first subscription-based cable television service. It was incorporated on 18 October 1994 and was operated by TV3.

Introduction
IPTV is not TV that is broadcast over the Internet. IPTV is distinguished from Internet television by its on-going standardization process and preferential deployment scenarios in subscriber-based telecommunications networks with high-speed access channels into end-user premises via set-top boxes or other customer-premises equipment.

Internet TV

Intro
Internet Television is a general term that covers the delivery of television shows and other video content over the internet by video streaming technology, typically by major traditional television broadcasters one can have access to many channels but the quality is too poor and sometimes the signal is not that stable.

Different between IPTV and internet

Some of the key technical characteristics of an IPTV platform include: Broadcast channels, when provided over IP (rather than hybrid DTT), are streamed using multicast technologies. Operators run extensive QOS practices, managing the delivery of video to the consumer with minimal interruptions. Digital Rights Management (DRM) is standard, with operators providing high levels of video asset management and encryption. Delivery of content is device specific. This used to mean STBs but it's important to note that PCs are not excluded from true IPTV delivery as they can operate in the same way as a STB. Provisioning, billing and customer service methods are the same as traditional TV platforms.

Internet TV, however, relies on a much more open model by streaming content over the public internet and is available to the widest audience possible. Key characteristics can include: Delivery of video can be encrypted, and DRM can be used, but is not always adopted. Networks are not fully managed and there is no end-to-end bandwidth provisioning as operators cannot control the networks as a result QOS is limited, but we are seeing development with some services. Channels are streamed using unicast technologies with peer-topeer technologies also being used in some cases. Customer service is largely online and customer management is much less developed.
