Forum essentials
• What is the Open IPTV Forum?– A global organization involving many of the key stakeholders in the IPTV market
• What are the Forum goals?– To create an end-user mass market for IPTV– To accelerate the introduction and deployment of IPTV– To ease the integration of end-to-end IPTV solutions– To facilitate the creation of IPTV services
• Why is the Forum needed?– No consensual standards exist for IPTV– Diverse implementation is a barrier to IPTV evolution and growth– Harmonization of IPTV infrastructure and service development reduces risk for all
stakeholders
• What does the Forum do?– Agree and publish end-to-end specifications for standardized IPTV solutions and services
Forum essentials• Who benefits from the work of the Open IPTV Forum?
– Service Providers can reduce integration costs and focus on service features and revenue generation
– Technology and Equipment Suppliers benefit from clear specifications which help ensure interoperability
– Content and Applications Vendors know the capabilities and limitations of the IPTV systems they use
• How does the Forum operate?– The steering group provides guidance on the general directions of the Forum and approves the
Forum's deliverables– Starting with Service and Platform requirements and a Functional Architecture - technical
specifications are developed by the Working Groups.– Where possible existing standards from established standards bodies are used.
• What is the Forum timeline?– Requirements and architecture specifications for Release 1 are already available from the
Forum's website.– The Release 1 Technical Specifications will be published during 2008.– As IPTV service expectations continue to evolve, the Forum will revise and extend the published
specifications in subsequent Releases.
The standardization issue…
• Fragmented World of Standards- No end-to-end perspective
• Proprietary solutions• Limited interoperability and
economics of scale
