SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2005--IP-based television will change the way consumers watch TV while opening a new competitive choice for millions, said Lea Ann Champion, senior executive vice president of IP Operations and Services for SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE:SBC) at a U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee hearing about the future of new technology.
Champion demonstrated the capabilities of IP-based video or IPTV for lawmakers and urged them to avoid imposing incumbent obligations on new entrants in the video services market that would discourage deployment of the new system.
