I have left comments before on this issue - I think telco IPTV companies make the mistake of selling on the Hollywood film portfolio rather than on innovative services. if you look at the latter then what you're saying is why won't a PC enablged TV become popular with its own killer apps and a place as the new hearth.

The liklihood of "telco-ip-tv" being the only game in town is low. The telco 2.0 guys in Europe do a good job covering the issues of "telco-ip-tv" Video over the net has sooo many permutations.

Once they figure it out, the flexibility offered by the IPTV model is phenomenal. Those who build expertise now could really clean up down the road. But they may loose their shirts in the process. As you have noted, no one is really clammering for another way to receive TV. I guess I am saying that someone will clean up on IPTV in the future, but it may be a distant future.
