International conference in Malta will discuss IPTV

More than 200 delegates from top global telecommunication companies, regulators and government ministries are expected to attend. Global ICT companies will send delegates from countries which include China, Japan, Korea, the United States, Canada and Europe.

These companies include Alcatel-Lucent, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco Systems, Samsung, LG Electronics, Toshiba, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Nokia, Deutche Telecom, France Telecom, BT, Huawei Technologies, Sony and Siemens.

The mission of FG IPTV is to co-ordinate and promote the development of global IPTV standards taking into account the existing work of the ITU study groups as well as Standards Developing Organisations, Fora and Consortia.

The standards agreed at the Malta conference will be adopted and approved at next year’s World Standardisation Assembly for eventual execution.

The International Telecommunications Union, the specialised UN agency on telecommunications, has taken the lead in the international standardisation for IPTV, which enables digital television to be delivered to consumers using the Internet Protocol over a broadband connection. The Malta conference is laying the groundwork for an area of telecommunications that could attract up to 100 million subscribers in the next three years.

The conference is being held in co-ordination with Malta’s Ministry for Competitiveness and Communications at the Dolmen Resort Hotel, Qawra.
