What if Apple Joined Forces With AT&T To Make a True IP HDTV?

I recently read a story in the UK Edition of CNET about Jason Calacanis' prediction that Apple was working on a networked television.

The key word here is networking.

If it was a networked TV, then it would need a truly networked IPTV platform.

The use of the iPhone as a true rem0te control for your AppleTV and TV in general could come into play.

Imagine, if you will using your current MacBook or MacBook PRO as an adjunct TV receiver off of your U-verse TV Service. 

AT&T is the only only true IP-based provider in the U.S.  Verizon's offering is not true IP.

Apple could join forces with AT&T Labs and further disrupt the TV broadcasting space.
