IPTV is About To Boom
It’s official, there is to be a big push to widen the availability and recognition of IPTV services.
One of the problems with getting the system to the starving TV masses has always been a lack of compatible specifications that unify the business into one viable market.
Now the Open IPTV Forum intends to change that, by bringing together an end-to-end solution specification.
At a meeting last week, at its headquarters in the Sony Europe offices in Germany, the group of telecom operators, consumer electronics manufacturers and network infrastructure providers decided that things have to change to make IPTV a real competitor.
They revealed that plans for the unification of technical specs are well underway and that they are in fact nearing completion.
The members are the real big players in IPTV including Ericsson, FT Group, Nokia Siemens Networks, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, and Sony Corporation, so it is unlikely that their calls for one set of specifications to fit all will be ignored.
There are 44 powerful members of the group and last week they accepted several more eager members, including enCentro (Neuvex Lda trading as enCentro Systems Inc); HwaCom Systems Inc; Institut fuer Rundfunktechnik GmbH; Neotion Sigma Designs, Inc.; UTStarcom Inc; and WyPlay.
Just last week they released details of how they intend to deal with fragmentation within the industry Click Here.
