Re: Acanac IPTV hopefully by July I'm still waiting for somebody to put the "I" in "IPTV". You know, an Internet Protocol TeleVision service that I can subscribe to over the Internet. It's great that companies like Acanac and Colba are offering IPTV (power to 'em), but none of these services are actually delivered over the Internet.

A market that open would be neat. But the unicast/multicast issue would put the " true internet" operator at a disadvantage vs. the private net operator. Will HD be economically feasible at $22/mbps of AHSSPI? |

Nothing is economical at that price. |

What Paul from Acanac said is that the CRTC do not allows them to offer TV on an open network such as the internet so they can only offer it to their custommers.
It's not like Colba, they do not control the DSLAM. So I don't think they can multicast.
Yes, it will be at $22000/Gbps. That's why they will only offer a maximum bitrate of 4 Mbps (maybe more for paid movies). So it will be low HD quality, not unlike netflix. |

Netflix has some higher quality streams... I'm assuming the bandwith will be limited from Acanac's side?

Quebec, QC | All digital TV provider must do some form of transcoding and they have to choose a bitrate. Acanac chose 4 Mbps. |
