Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas a new version of Mediaroom, its technology that delivers TV over the Internet on such services as AT&T Inc.’s U-verse system. The newest version of Mediaroom will let subscribers watch live and recorded TV and video-on-demand on Windows computers and phones and through Xbox 360 consoles, in addition to a set-top box. It will work over regular broadband, not just special fiber connections.
