IPTV via Web-connected TVs?

CNet : So far, most HDTV makers are offering only video-on-demand (VOD) and miscellaneous Web services like YouTube and Tweeter through their Web-connected TVs. I had this random thought bubble of Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) much like Singapore's SingTel mio TV, debuting on these panels after yesterday's StarHub Cable TV event. After all, IPTV is delivered through the Internet, which is the same backbone for these online services. There've also been rumors about mio TV for the Xbox 360 for the longest time that I can remember, so it is technically feasible to implement such a solution to a certain extent.

Would this feature be a compelling consideration in your HDTV purchase?
