All the rumors said MS was scrambling to get more providers signed right up until the last minute for a big IPTV announcement. I think it's obvious they missed the deadline.
Q: Will live TV be universal, or will it be regional TV services provided by whoever your cable provider is?
A: It will be tied to either a satellite broadcast company or a cable company. So in international markets, you'll just have one provider. In the U.S., it will be bifurcated by region, by market. You'll be a Comcast guy [in Seattle], for example.
Q: So you'll have to be a Comcast subscriber, similar to the way you need a subscription to get the ESPN content on the Xbox now?
A: Yes.
Q: Will the Bing search be full Web search or just for entertainment?
A: It will be full search on what you have on Xbox Live. So anything that's available on Xbox Live if you're a gold subscriber, it will search all of that. It won't go out and search the Web.
