“Maybe this shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise, but when AT&T execs talk about having a long and close relationship with Apple, they’re not just planning on putting out future iPhones,” Peter Rojas reports for Engadget.
“A well-connected source tells us that AT&T and Apple are working on adding IPTV [Internet Protocol Television] capabilities to the Apple TV beginning sometime next year,” Rojas reports.
Rojas reports that it’s “too early to say whether this would be a blown-out offering a full package of channels aimed at replacing your current cable/satellite service, a more limited selection of on-demand programming…”

MacDailyNews Take: This is starting to sound like some “hobby,” huh?
Apple had a cable set top box that did this back in 1995 and I saw a demo of it at Macworld Boston. Everything from getting sporting event player stats as they make them to using a virtual hand to select products at an online virtual store. I remeber it disticlty as a guy was standing in front of me also seeing the demo and he was holding an Apple Newton with a clear outside shell so you could se the inside.
There are 1300 free IPTV channels and AT&T has 300 pay chanels in 11 cities.

IPTV would be a big hit for Apple … particualry within the “not a rental” (ie, no monthly fee required) business model.
And while most people don’t necessarily like current bandwidths, the real issue here is that the home consumer is paying quite a steep price for his pipe – – if there was real competition to the doorstep, we would only be paying $10/month for FIOS-class bandwidth.
-hh
oh PLEASE give me a reason to drop my $100 a month dish that gets used for about 6 shows. if i could get disney ala cart and daily show and colbert and my wifes 3 shows for a good price….. oh man….
Dear Branedy,
You wont use iptv unless you have broadband, and if you are getting less then 3mb on broadband then you are being ripped off. For instance in my area, standard cable is 3mb-5mb and I hear they are moving to 7 to compete with Verion Fios. Verizon Fios in my area is standard 5? i think but they also have an more expensive 10 version.
Plus ATT will be working with Apple so you know there is going to be good buffering.
