Verizon and SBC Communications attempt to stream TV content via fibre-optic using internet technology
Companies like Verizon and SBC Communications have made attempts to distribute TV content over fibre-optic networks using internet technology. This has proved to be one communication channel competing with cable and satellite to broadcast TV content to homes. IPT (internet protocol television) is now been taken up by Akimbo systems which is attempting to deliver TV over broadband and this comes as a output to your TV rather than computer making it much more appealing. The Akimbo box looks and functions like a TiVO and you need a receiver and a subscription package. Once set up the program is very similar to what you get from cable.
