Nortel and Telus to Deliver IPTV
It's all about synergy and coincidence. The VON conference this week has been pretty oriented toward video and IPTV. AT&T announced their video product pitch. Video's all the rage.
Tonight I was talking on Skype with my friend Doug, and he said Telus has made some big announcements the last few days about spending something like $700M to bring fiber closer to the curb in 22 communities. And they're going to offer IPTV in those regions. Doug gave me this link to the story. Thanks Doug!
