Verizon and Microsoft Partner for IPTV

benore writes "According to the AP, Verizon joins other baby bells SBC and Bellsouth in choosing Microsoft to provide TV content over high speed internet. IPTV, whose technology will deliver TV content in much the same way as VOIP delivers phone service, relys heavily on fiber optic speeds. According to SBC, Microsoft's IPTV technology will allow a home to receive 3 standard TV signals, 1 HD channel, and high-speed Internet access all at the same time."

3 standard TV signals, 1 HD channel, and high-speed Internet access all at the same time.

Gee whiz, TV from Microsoft. There goes any semblance of fair use rights, and hell, probably the ability to watch any given show without rebooting the TV three times.

Seesh.
