Yes, that is correct, nothing to buy, nothing to maintain, no up front costs
just sell and install.

So if we could do it over a VPN tunnel (I know the content providers are saying
no to that at the moment), you could do it with almost no startup costs,
correct? In that case, you could potentially setup a system with, say, 50
customers on it, and not require anything more than 100-200meg of extra
capacity on your upstreams - which would likely be somewhat offset by a
reduction in Netflix/streaming traffic.

Yeah, you can do just a per stream connection, so depending on how many
people are streaming it could be much less than 2 gig.

2-5meg is do-able over a decent wireless network... not a whole lot different
than Neflix, really. Needing 2gbps to Utah is a problem though.

The issue I am seeing right now is that it will not work over on wireless
ap to wireless cpe. The 2 companies I already spoken to said that: 1 its going
to cost about 100k to do with licensing and servers 2. always 2-5meg
connections and your going have to have at lease 2-3gb fiber connection line to
there office to do this. Unless realchoice tv is able to do something that is
not going to cost 100k to start up. Its better suited to be on dsl or fiber
connection I dont think WISP's would be able to do iptv.

Quite likely HLS using H265 - very cool stuff, quite "cutting edge"..

So the big attraction to them is that you don't need your own
middleware/encryption/channel guide etc and to develop the STB application?
Just curious…

It is wholesale IPTV but via Android and the Nexus box with app.
The cool thing is the ability to go back in time with the on screen
display tv guide.

Are they doing anything special or just wholesale IPTV? There's already
at least one network doing wholesale IPTV in Cermak already.

Is their headend in a datacenter or well connected to major networks
already? We have 2gigs of unused transport into 350 Cermak currently, wonder
if it would be easy to get to from there.

If you are taking just the streams in use, it is about 5 mbps per

If you are taking the whole feed with an edge server at your site, it

So far you will have to be able to get transport to their headend.
Turns out that the content providers are still unhappy with various tunneling
and VPN methods.
If you are in Utah you can probably get the feed.
