Internet protocol television (IPTV) seems to be gaining ground worldwide.

This from the Economist...
“NEARLY a third of Hong Kong's households watch television via the internet, according to a new report from Telecommunications Management group, a consultancy. Because internet protocol television (IPTV) uses the same technology as that which links computer networks, smaller countries with high broadband penetration tend to have more subscribers. As well as plain old programmes, viewers can also enjoy other services such as on-demand video. So far, Europe accounts for over half of the world's subscribers.”

IPTV is definitely going to turn the entertainment industry upside down.
I found a new IPTV company called http://blastiptv.com that can stream video in a way that I haven't seen before.
They only need 100kbps bandwidth to deliver High Definition Full-Screen video with no buffering and you don't have to download anything.
Blast IPTV has a serious advantage since the so called competitors need 10 to 30 times the bandwidth to stream the same quality content.
Go figure.
