Gamevideos.com has a very good interview -
part one with Chris Satchell and Albert Penello of Microsoft about IPTV, larger hard drives /apparently for the Xbox 360/ and Zune integration plans.
Part two compares the Wii, PS3 and 360 online offerings with Satchell and Penello. Very interesting stuff.

If you're in prague you should migrate to Telenor then, i pay 1400CZK ($65) for 4Mbit/512k, no limit. They say there _could_ be speed limitation after 40GB traffic, but i got it for year, with monthly traffic about 90GB-110GB and no limitations yet. No sign of aggregation either, it is still running at full speed (~400kB/s download where available).

As for IPTV, well, considering that here the DVB-T broadcasts uses ~3Mbit per channel (MPEG2, so lots of blocks Sad ), i guess IPTV _is_ possible after all. Just not HD Smile

holy crap! That's insane.

4Mb/s down - 768Kb/s up

$50 a month.

Agree with your comments totally. Whenever we will see that kind of bandwidth... don't seem realistic at all.
