Siemens, which makes equipment used by phone carriers to deliver broadband Internet access, claimed its stake in the IPTV market in April when it announced it was buying a small software company called Myrio, which specializes in IPTV software."</i><br /><br />Speculations, schmeculations...I expect Microsoft will command a dominant presence in the IPTV market. But that's my opinion. We'll have to wait and see how this young market shakes out.
