Sports Applications
IPTV sports applications run the gamut of possibilities. For dominant U.S. sports like football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and golf, IPTV brings a wide spectrum of archived past events to their U.S. fan base as well as to new viewers around the world. For sports such as horse racing, broadcasters can stream the races over the Internet with minimal time delay. World sports like soccer and lacrosse move to the forefront of sports broadcasting in the U.S. and other countries bringing live games, archived games, and other features to IPTV viewers. One of the biggest sports growth areas is in the realm of niche sports such as Olympic weight lifting or archery. IPTV sportscasting breaks down traditional broadcast barriers.
