				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I selected <a target="_blank" href="http://searchtelecom.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid103_gci1112181,00.html">IPTV</a> for today&#8217;s Word of the Day, it was in response to seeing articles about iTV (Internet television) and assuming &#8212; silly me! &#8212; that it was the same thing.</p>
<p>Uh. No, as it turns out, they&#8217;re <a target="_blank" href="http://www.eurocomms.com/features/112457/IPTV_AND_INTERNET_TV_DEVELOPMENT_-_Let_the_TV-battle_begin.html">two competing delivery models</a>. IPTV is like a replacement for cable TV and typically offered by the same carriers. And it isn&#8217;t always delivered over the Internet, as this <a target="_blank" href="http://searchunifiedcommunications.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid186_gci1281193,00.html">Crash course in IPTV</a> explains. However, I <em>think</em> I can say confidently that Internet TV is always delivered over the Internet. Robin Good explains <a href="http://www.masternewmedia.org/2005/06/04/iptv_vs_internet_television_key.htm">the difference between Internet TV and IPTV</a> in this post.</p>
<p>If this all seems unnecessarily complicated and difficult to untangle, maybe you should just wait. According to many Industry watchers, the two will eventually converge into a hybrid of some sort. What <em>that</em> will look like is still up in the air. Or will it be online?  </p>
