Microsoft IPTV: Fuzzy partnership
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft and newly merged Alcatel-Lucent have partnered to deliver Internet-based television technology to Singapore Telecommunications , the companies said Thursday.
But it's not business as usual: the two partners could be headed to court over alleged patent infringements and, depending on the outcome of their dispute, may choose to go their separate ways.
SingTel is the second Asian carrier to test Microsoft's IPTV software, bringing the total number of operators either trialing or commercially deploying the technology to 16.
