Why does anyone think that the IPTV systems will be open systems? The ones I have seen are as locked down as possible, with lots of proprietary protocols on top on IP. It may be different in Europe, but the US systems are closed, for business, security, and performance reasons. The systems could be opened up to other content, but the owner of the STB is going to want a cut.
