From the article: "The AT&T Homezone service, being trialed within several states, integrates AT&T Yahoo! high-speed Internet and AT&T DISH Network programming. The service provides video on demand, digital video, and Internet content, such as photos and music through a set-top box."

Another dead end IPTV project ? by ozzee · 2006-04-18 17:43 · Score: 4, Funny

The number of failed attempts at IPTV projects boggles my mind.
Movilink (Sony+other studios) - couldn't be given away.
Starz/Real partnership - dead.
Kontiki/AOL - Kontiki dead.
Netmovies - (napster + others) dead.
Tivo + Netflix - dead dead dead
+ many many more
What makes this so special ?
