An emerging technology that delivers video, audio or TV broadcasts over (IP) based networks with the required level of QOS/QOE, security, interactivity, and reliability.

In Conclusion: IPTV it means: Television you fully control Any content, any time, any place Television that can take you anywhere Unlimited visual interactive applications

It’s the IP in IPTV that’s important! IPTV requires new technology in:

Access networks Compression Middleware Customer premises equipment (CPE)

11 Overview: IPTV = (IP) + (TV)

April 11, 2023 4

True interactive television and infinite number of channels. See anything you want, any time, any where, on any device. Reduced infrastructure costs. Personal relationship with a broadcaster via a transactional request /

response mechanism, rather than just picking up a broadcast sent to anyone and everyone.

Distribute live HD television over the backbone of the Internet rather than satellite, cable and terrestrial networks.

Signals are 100% digital Works on existing internet connection. Install your set-top box and power

ON. NO wires to get its signal. The newest IPTV set-top boxes work on wireless

signals. Programs stored on servers, viewed with click of IPTV remote. Wide range of extra services from ads to interactive options.

22 Why revolutionary? What’s new ?

April 11, 2023 5

Live broadcasts: It's like watching live TV on your computer screen. You can NOT pause, back up or skip through parts of the broadcast that do NOT interest you.

On-demand videos: Arranged like a playlist. Episodes or clips are arranged by title or channel or in categories like news, sports or music videos. You choose exactly what you want to watch, when you want to watch it.

A success factor for IPTV mass market, to enable SPs: Deliver a common experience to any consumer’s

preferred device Use any access technology, wired or wireless, fixed

or mobile Leverage best-of-breed components Take advantage of increased common

manufacturing volumes Spend less time on integration and “N x M”

interoperability testing Avoid specific vendor lock-in Define & satisfy regulatory requirements Deploy proven, scalable, & reliable solutions

April 11, 2023 9

Key Areas in Need Of Standardization: Interoperability Prevents user lock-in when purchasing a device or

service Device to Service Provider, Device to Content Provider,

Service Provider to Service Provider, Service Provider to Content Provider, and Vendor to Vendor

Authentication/Authorization Allow interoperability Privacy and users protection CA/DRM (Conditional Access/Digital Rights Management)

Standardization: Organizations : ATIS IIF IPTV

Definition and Role

The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions ATIS, in Sep. 2005 formed the IPTV Interoperability Forum IIF in order to create a suite of globally acceptable standards that covered the topic of IPTV end-to-end. The work focused on IP Layer 3 and above. The intent is that these standards should be operable on any IP delivery network.

Founded in March 2007 largely by several major network operators ,network-equipment , and customer-equipment vendors covering most parts of the IPTV value chain.

Role : Produce “end-to-end” spec. for IPTV mass-market service Develop an open standards to support a “plug-and-play”

experience to consumers that is independent of the underlying technologies, and avoid duplication.

Define a solution that allows IPTV services to be delivered over both managed network environments and the public Internet

Address all necessary components including content delivery, interactivity, and content protection

Address measures to ensure interoperability between IPTV services and retail consumer devices

77Potential Regulatory Issues

Advertising: Targeted advertising and advertisement-less content delivery to allow next-generation business models

Time Shifted TV: Legal framework to support content storage, redistribution and super-distribution (e.g. access from multiple devices)

Privacy: Protect privacy of user content (with consideration for lawful intercept)

Piracy: Provide a framework for detection and prosecution Multimedia Communications: Triple play: voice, video

and data regulations Content Classification: Larger scale production

Subscribers want more choice & control: New generation grew up computer/Internet savvy Connected Life : At Home, At Work, & On the road Want ONE bill, ONE provider, and customized integrated

services Improved codec, access, server, & CPE technology:

MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) next generation codec improvements New ADSL2+, VDSL2, FTTx, DOCSIS 3.0 access technologies

Greater competition among service providers: NO longer limited by access. All services over any network Traditional markets going away, Voice & Long distance almost

free Video is driving next NGN design:

Driven by video’s bandwidth & QoS requirements Experiencing exponential growth in Internet video usage

1010Recommendations:

For IPTV providers:

Keep changing marketing tactics. Plan ahead and raise prices gradually. IPTV should NOT suddenly charge more for the same content. It

needs to add value with applications that can be deployed quickly due to the IP based infrastructure.

Middleware and bandwidth will differentiate IPTV from cable, the better the connection, the more advanced the applications can be.

Build out advanced services such as DVRs , VoD, and promote uses.

Focus on HD VoD content Teach consumers how to use advanced services Leverage the flexibility of IP to extend services to mobile platforms STOP relying on third-party broadband portals!

April 11, 2023 31

Investment in high-bandwidth networks. Decentralize the control structure and move marketing

power to the edge. Accelerate network upgrades. Access and HD content as the early weapon of choice. Embrace open environments as an asset, NOT a threat! Treat the entire home as your domain. Improve customer service. Bundle equipment with contracts and promote its use. Invest in cross platform applications e.g. on TV caller

display. Increases stickiness for the end users

1010Recommendations:

For Telecommunications Operators:

April 11, 2023 32

1. Better Internet infrastructure. 2. Increase in broadband speeds. 3. Better compression technology.4. High broadband penetration world-wide. 5. Increased high quality content. 6. Positive support from major telecoms. 7. Better interactive applications. 8. Advances in video-on-demand VoD storage capabilities.9. The development of Secure Conditional Access CA /DRM

solutions for IPTV 10. Next generation, intelligent IPTV set top boxes

111110 key developments for

transition to IPTV

April 11, 2023 33

Who will provide IPTV? Most major Telecoms due to having: Finance to upgrade their networks Tremendous database & commercial knowledge of customers Advanced methods of customer accounting and billing mechanisms

The hybrid IPTV set top box: By 2010, most independent market analysts predict that 50% of the 30 Million deployed IPTV set top boxes will be hybrid, i.e. IPTV combined with some for of digital cable, terrestrial or satellite front end: For satellite broadcasters: An IPTV element in the unit will enable the

inclusion of VoD; For Cable operators: The introduction of IP will reduce network costs

by enabling both internet access and VoD services; For Digital terrestrial operators: The premium services and

interactivity offered through an IP return channel will reinforce their free-to-air television products and enable interactive ads.

1212Quick Facts Conclusions

April 11, 2023 34

IPTV is a secure closed system with premium content and managed QoS, particularly for video. The end consumers have unique personal profiles known to the operator enabling targeted marketing.

Internet TV is public and free. It complements IPTV because operators will typically have a parallel ISP broadband service offering alongside their dedicated TV service and the same subscriber will be therefore able to access, via the web, a plethora of generated video content uploaded from individuals or small operations. YouTube is an example of this. In marked comparison with IPTV, Internet TV is of limited quality. This is used by the consumer in several ways. The studios and online retailers hope that increasingly consumers will want to own digital copies of movies rather than the physical DVDs. It also means that video programme makers can go around the typical distribution model and go directly to the consumer. A second example is P2P (peer-to-peer) networking using file sharing platforms.
