I wrote earlier this June 2005 an "Opinion Piece" published by the Diffusion Group. You can read the whole article here on the website of The Diffusion Group, an Austin, TX based market research company.
This piece spurred a whole slew of other articles questioning how quickly the deployment and integration of the SBC IPTV platform would go. Moshe Lichtman defended Microsoft in a press conference whose transcript is here. UBS Securities later announced that they did not see the SBC deployment start in earnest until 2006.
SBC COO later acknowledged that integration and scalability are issues, in a press interview with USA Today. Of course they are.
If you want to read more about why, check my IPTV Q2 2005 Report available from TDG.
