Yup
;-)
This particular vendor is trying to differentiate between walled
garden IPTV and systems without the walls. I seriously doubt that
they are having much impact on the confusion that exists surrounding
the term IPTV.
The reality is that the telcos cannot enter the walled garden market
and succeed. They must have a way to differentiate their service, and
that differentiation will be the removal of at least some of the
walls that exist today.
