IPTV service for Taiwan and China?
When I pitched this business idea about a week ago in a blog post, I received numerous emails of encouragement and some with helpful suggestions. This is a refined version of the business plan presented on video and set to drumbeat.
Would you want this service?

KyLin TV does this for America, offering stations from Taiwan, Mainland China, Japan, and Korea. i recently blogged about this being offered for only $8 U.S. per month at http://feisnik.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-do-you-get-chinese-channels-in.html.

I don’t know much about digital TV but I’ve always suspected that all the whistle and bell additional services were really bullshit to spin to investors etc and a trojan horse way of raising the basic ARPU. I used to have Skyplus in UK which was full of Value Added Services (I never used any of them).

Maybe Taiwan has it right, basic cable for $18, no whistles, no bells. I’d happily pay for that!
