IPTV now

TV will never be the same as computer networks engulf satellites, making them just another link in the mesh. Replacing dedicated SDI connections out to satellite uplinks, "cloud-based" services enable targeted TV programming.

As an example (delivered as a webcast, to computers at corporate clients), AT&T has just unveiled AT&T Internet Security News Network, "a first-of-its-kind 24/7 video Webcast that provides enterprises with critical security news and information, helping them to stay abreast of the latest security issues and remain one step ahead of malicious activities proliferating on the Internet".

Another example, this time delivered over the internet (and viewed on TVs) to subscribers willing to pay $15 per month:

KyLinTV brings Chinese programming to the world, using set-top boxes from TransVideo, "the world's leader in digital video technology... its Super Easy Set Top Box and Mobile IPTV products use TransVideo proprietary CODEC technology based on H.264 / MPEG4-AVC standard. TransVideo provides technology to enable video and television broadcasting over the Internet".
