Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future

For the purposes of this thread, there is a very important distinction between “on demand” and “IP-TV”. True on demand services are delivered over IP, but not all IP-TV is on demand. It is entirely possible to deliver a linear scheduled broadcast tv service over IP. That’s why claims that the U.K. will eventually move to a system of entirely IP delivered TV, do not amount to proof that linear broadcast will entirely give way to on demand. The two phenomena are related but they are not synonymous.
