Co-Located Conference Streams

The impending arrival of 'cable IPTV' and 'satellite IPTV' introduce a significant new dynamic to this market. The anticipated use of IP as the delivery mechanism for television on these networks redefines IPTV, expanding its boundaries far beyond what has, until now, been considered a telco-centric activity. And in keeping with this important trend, IPTV World Forum 2008 is also expanding its scope to encompass the emergence and impact of IP television over cable and hybrid satellite/broadband networks.

For 2008, this event will address the specific issues associated with the next generation of cable TV as it seeks more multicasting, unicasting, switching and IP switching. In one of many carefully constructed conference streams, 'Cable IPTV' will cover Switched Digital Video, channel bonding, DOCSIS video, DOCSIS bypass, fibre-to-the-premise, one-to-one advertising and all the transport, headend and customer premise technology considerations that fall within these subject headings.

The vision for 'cable IPTV', the business rationale and the migration strategies that can make it achievable will fall under the microscope at IPTV World Forum 2008. Cable IPTV is an important addition and joins TV-over-Net (Internet TV) and The Connected Home (customer premise, networking and super-distribution) among the stand-alone conference streams that enhance the overall value of this event. It is now possible to take three days out of the office and gather intelligence about IP video across all the platforms it shapes.

Increasingly a mix of new media and old, incorporating 'classic' IPTV, Internet TV, cable, satellite and mobile, IPTV World Forum is delivering a truly converged conference/exhibition fit for an industry where platform boundaries are really starting to blur. This conference/exhibition attracts delegates and speakers from all parts of the television delivery chain, from content producers, owners and distributors, through channel owners and broadcasters, to platform operators. The exhibition is significant and growing, and has achieved the critical mass that makes it a chosen industry meeting and networking venue.

At the heart of everything at IPTV World Forum is IP video. Leading from the front in 2008, as they have at our last three annual exhibitions, are the telcos, ISPs and other alternative broadband providers. As always, this event will address all the significant telco-centric IPTV issues with rigour and insight. Across all conference streams there will be the usual - and almost unique - emphasis on speakers from operators and content owners: those people who make the big decisions and drive deployments. As always, the aim will be to pass on practical experience and best practice in speaker sessions and unravel complex issues in the many panel discussions.

We hope you will join us for what is now the undisputed No.1 video-over-IP event in the world.
