Broadcast television in an IP world

Fri Nov 17 23:56:38 UTC 2017

Besides Netflix, does anyone else offer CDN boxes for their services?

I'm also guessing that most content won't benefit from multicast to homes
too much?

I can see where multicast benefits sports and news (and probably catching
commercials for people). But in a world where I'm more than happy to pay
Amazon $25-40 a show/season to avoid commercials, I'm guessing
live/broadcast TV will get even less popular (I get news via YouTube - so
that's not even live for me anymore).
