Although p2p technology has been around since the early years of the commercial web, it is relatively new in streaming live TV content. Many companies in China lead the early stages of its development, though now many  p2p companies in Europe and in America are pioneering its development.

In Africa, It will be a very good thing to have this technology in streaming media at our disposal, because it solves a lot of problems that many parts of the continent suffer when it comes to the Internet. One major problem is bandwidth and it solves a great deal of that problem.

IPTV is a very good way of getting content like music or movies produced on Africa on the world stage. Users don't have to install a cable or other hardware to view channels on IPTV. They can enjoy the service with only an Internet connection.

You don't have to rely on cbs, abc or nbc for African news, get it from the African channels located in the continent and run by Africans not international media.
