Korean PS3 gets IPTV service in November

Korea's primary telecommunications operator, known as KT, has teamed up with Sony to expand the multimedia functionality of the PS3. PS3 will gain the ability to broadcast IPTV, "an internet-based TV service," in November. IPTV is not available in many countries, meaning this service is unlikely to come to America. For now, the price of the service is unknown. However, this will undoubtedly be an attractive feature for Korean consumers.

1. IPTV is being introduced both by AT&T (Uverse or something?) and Microsoft on the 360. So it might to the States - maybe just not in this form?

2. I don't know anything about IPTV, but is it possible to get it here? My wife is Korean, and would love to be able to pick up Korean shows. Since it's internet cast, I don't see why I couldn't get it in America.
