Maybe as you say today's IPTV ecosystem is too stringent in the way new concepts are filtered out so some good ideas get lost with the bad. But if a start-up puts new ideas on the market without any effort it's be like in the internet bubble era. I was CTO of a music start-up then. We thought we were creating a new world, but most of us were just following the rest of the herd running off the cliff, the few good ideas crashed just like the bad ones when we hit the ground. Some mechanism must exist to filter the new ideas. The fact that for IPTV its a whole ecosystem with many stake holders is probably one of the most efficient ways, even if it is on the over-efficient side. Ben Excellent thought provoking post Petr.
