[VoiceOps] Looking for an IPTV source.

[Frank Bulk]

Moto has actually withdrawn from the Microsoft Mediaroom hosting market.

For someone who wants to keep the costs low, picking up most of them via
satellite and encoding the locals should do the trick.

We have been looking for a similar type of solution does not seem to be
anything out there that doesn't require upfront infrastructure.  I know
motorola has a hosted ms media room solution for your middle ware but you
still have to bring your feeds in.  I  think a big issue with a wholesaler
would be the locals, which would require for you to pull in the feeds and
encode them, requiring fairly large up front cost depending on how many
locals are in your area.  A good option might be directv mfh3, but I hear
they have locked up the market where you need to be running alcatel/lucent
access equipment, and you can not pass public right of ways.  If someone
else has some suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Howdie,

 I know this is the VOICE list but I'm hoping someone here has some
contacts.    I'm looking for a IPTV wholesaler that I can partner with to
deliver IPTV services to FTTH customers.   It will be something pretty
small to start.  Only a couple hundred houses past.  I don't want to
invest in a head-end.  Just pick up some bandwidth and aim the set top
boxes to the providers head-end.
 
 I can get a GigE into Boston pretty easily for a dedicated trunk.

 Please forward any contact info you may have

Thanks

-Matt
