Yes, but IP TV is not profitable on stand-alone basis -- it's just a necessary part of the triple play. A lot of the discussion has been about Internet and network design, but not much about the other two "plays".

Perhaps I live in a different world, but just about all of the small to midsize service providers I work with offer triple play today, and nearly all of them are migrating their triple play services to IP.Really. Citations? I'd love to see it play that way, myself.
Okay: South Central Rural Telephone Glasgow, KY http://www.scrtc.com/ Left side of page, "Digital TV service". See this news article: http://www.wcluradio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15567: capacity-crowd-hears-good-report-at-scrtc-annuan-mee "He also reported that SCRTC is continuing to upgrade our services, converting customers to the new IPTV service and trying to get as much fiber optic cable built as possible." Camellia Communications Greenville, AL http://camelliacom.com/services/ctv-dvr.html Note the models of set-top boxes they are using are IP based Griswold Cooperative Telephone Griswold, IA http://www.griswoldtelco.com/griswold-coop-iptv-video Farmer's Mutual Coopeative Telephone Moulton, IA http://farmersmutualcoop.com/ Citizens Floyd, VA http://www.citizens.coop/ How about a Canadian example you say? CoopTel Valcourt, QB http://www.cooptel.qc.ca/en-residentiel-tele-guidesusager.php Check out the models of set-top boxes here too. Oh, also, have you heard of ATT U-Verse? http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=26580 "AT&T U-verse TV is the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider" So even the likes of AT&T, in this scheme, could buy fiber paths to their subs and provide TV service. I'm pretty sure AT&T knows how to deliver voice services over IP as well. Do you want more examples? I bet I can come up with 50 small/regional telecom companies that are providing TV services over IP in North America if I put my mind to it. -- Brandon Ross Yahoo & AIM: BrandonNRoss +1-404-635-6667 ICQ: 2269442 Schedule a meeting: https://doodle.com/bross Skype: brandonross
