China's 1st IPTV License Open for Broadcasters, Telecom Operators
Since the Shanghai Media Group (SMG) got China's first license of
Internet Protocol (IP) TV service this month, major broadcasters and
telecom operators have been agitated by the breakthrough in this
potentially lucrative field.

Internet users to access TV broadcasting services on their computers or
TV sets with a set-top box. Some advanced mobile phone users can also
be IPTV users with the technological progress.
China now has about 320 million mobile phone users, 100 million
cable TV subscribers, and nearly 23 million broadband Internet users.
Analysts expect the country's broadband users to hit the 40 million
mark this year.

Overpriced Content Exemplified by AP Story
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Cable television often boasts that it can
deliver esoteric fare suiting nearly any taste. But it could be
rendered obsolete by the likes of Bill Eason's hog cooking class.
The North Carolina cook's program - self-described as an "all-day, whole hog class edited
down to 45 minutes on how to find, select, prepare and serve whole hog from the man who cooks several hundred per
