Lot has changed since then with broadband market expanding so immensely and OTT platforms complimenting the same.... Pre 2016 running IPTV services was loss making venture with few takers and as such avenues to explore its advantage were non existent or had minimal presence

But it was certainly not outdated technology as claimed by airtel tweet.

It was outdated concept at that point of time reason being that whatever benefits IPTV offered were not only difficult to provide considering limited + old broadband cable network but also as i said IPTV proved to be a costly option vs DTH which proved a much better alternative..... Now situation has changed so linear DTH + Digital IPTV both offer great opportunity to expand and cater to diverse segment of customers

So basically their cable internet was outdated technology not the iptv.

Even I feel iptv is an outdated technology. If anyone can get all channels in one app like jiotv+ with the internet, Why one need it?

the outdated technology is cable/DTH and whatnot. Unintentionally we were futuristic 10 yrs ago, but IPTV didnt take off because of how it was implemented, over slower copper DSL and slower mediums. Nowadays, local cable operators are giving cable connections using FTTH. Fiber broadband is expanding rapidly. 5G FWA is also another medium of fast internet access. IPTV should have launched 4yrs ago but its never late. It HAS to replace DTH and traditional linear TV. All over the world, triple play is the norm, you get landline+broadband+TV over a single line and single bill. it benefits the customers a lot and also the deployment cost is less for the operators. so many smaller operators are providing triple play services already in India.

Jio tv+ is good for native play channels, bad for redirecting to another app's channels as unable to exit, but we can watch many 4k channels in iptv with higher fiber speeds.

@piinku1 The channels you are getting is OTT stream not TV feed.
