Peer to Peer TV
It is finally here – Peer to Peer TV known as PPLive. One of the biggest challenges in traditional IPTV is how to distribute to hundreds of thousand or millions of viewer at the same time (imaging “broadcasting” HDTV to 500,000 people @ 400-600kbps unicast stream and you’ll understand the bandwidth challenge).

Scott McNealy in Singapore
Just come back from the speech by Scott McNealy and I couldn’t help comparing him to Bill Gates in July.
