What are IPTV companies and how do they operate?

IPTV companies are businesses that provide television services over the internet. They set up streaming servers, acquire broadcasting rights, and deliver live TV, movies, and VOD content to subscribers worldwide. Examples include big names like Hulu, YouTube TV, and Sling in the USA, as well as niche IPTV companies offering regional or international content. These companies often bundle features such as DVR, catch-up TV, and device flexibility. With the rise of cord-cutting, IPTV companies are growing rapidly, offering affordable alternatives to traditional cable and satellite providers.
