Live video stream of the Apple special event online starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT.

without delving in the conspiratorial, Can anyone explain why would the broadcast be restricted to Apple TVs other than trying to control the number of concurrent streams they have to serve for scaling purposes ?

It isn't restricted to Apple TVs, it's restricted to anything that runs iOS >=4.2 or OS X >= 10.6.

While I understand Apple TV is a product, and you're explaining that the service is available outside that particular product...

"anything that runs iOS >=4.2 and OS X >= 10.6" that is going to display a live video feed from another city is acting as a TV by Apple. Or, an Apple TV. In a colloquial sense, yes, this is indeed restricted to Apple TVs.

Pretending that someone might refer to my iPhone or my Mac Pro as an "Apple TV" is twisting things rather fiercely.

I think you meant to put an "or" instead of "and"

it's restricted to anything that runs iOS >=4.2 OR OSX >= 10.6
