We seldom legislate new technologies into being. They emerge, and we plunge with them into whatever vortices of change they generate. We legislate after the fact, in a perpetual game of catch-up, as best we can, while our new technologies redefine us - as surely and perhaps as terribly as we've been redefined by broadcast television.

AOL and Warner "Welcome Back" old TV shows online

Its not full on IPTV yet but there is daily news now about more and more TV content being made available online.
In this case programs are on AOL Video On Demand (not sure if thats public/free/? - but its still noteworthy).

And just to clarify by "full on IPTV" I mean the notion of a TV schedule no longer applies. I mean get the shows from their sites, subscribe, etc, something lots of independent programs already provide but has yet to really show up with mainstream providers such as networks. $1.99 a show after it airs on iTunes is not what I am talking about. Its a start, but its not the real deal, and the keyword in all of this is "yet" - networks will tread carefully into IPTV but it will happen.
