Interesting. It appears to backed by some big players too.

Will there be commercials on Bendigo IPTv?
You bet there will be commercials on Bendigo IPTv, with retailers able to offer you immediate savings through live broadcasts from their stores. When a retailer pops up at 10am on a Friday and says he's got one 42 inch LCD going out for half price for the next 30 minutes, it's for real! And you'll have a chance to save heaps!
