Opinion Piece: too many IPTV STB offerings

The Diffusion Group published an opinion piece I write this past August about the (high) number of set-top box vendors and offerings in the IPTV market. You can read this article here.

Marketing a Set Top Box "Product" is not enough: with the advent of Linux, the use of DSP based chipsets, and the use of IP (over Ethernet), many manufacturers can come up with a "pre-production" prototype.
It is another matter to get this product integrated in a real network. Find out why with my Q2 IPTV report available from the Diffusion Group.
