Microsoft has been citing market research and a favorable rating at Deutsche Telekom's Club Internet broadband IPTV service in France. The Microsoft market research found that people what whole home DVR, video on demand, and an easier program guide.
Microsoft also responded to the statements by AT&T executives that problems with the Microsoft software is holding its IPTV deployment back. Microsoft stated that the AT&T deployment is very complex with 450 channels, with more HD, and with more TVs per household.
The proof is in the pudding. We will become a believer when the numbers start rolling in. Subscriber counts seem to be increasing at Club Internet in France, Deutsche Telekcom in Germany, and Swisscom in Switzerland. We are waiting to see the numbers start to move up at AT&T. (In particular I am waiting for AT&T to offer me the service here in San Francisco.)
