I think you're right, it's just as bullshit as they come. I'm working for an ISP that also sells IPTV, both to end-users (along with settopboxes) and to other ISPs (as a service they sell to their users). I couldn't care less about the television in general and IP-based one in particular. I don't watch TV, I don't even have a TV set and the closest thing to one that I have is the screen of my laptop. Yet I take pride in how our infrastructure for providing TV channels works, especially when compared to how it looked like when I got hired. In other words, it can be perfectly healthy if you don't care about the product itself, as long as you care about the quality of the product and craftsmanship used to build it.
