NOTES FOR EDITORS

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television, where personalised television and interactive services are delivered using Internet Protocol over a broadband network. It can be delivered using a variety of networks, including Managed Networks (an end-to-end network managed by an operator) and the Open Internet.

The Open IPTV Forum is fully open to participants from across the communications and entertainment industries, and brings together network operators, content providers, service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers and home and network infrastructure providers. The members of the Open IPTV Forum are working together on the development of open standards because they recognise that combining the expertise of all involved will help to streamline and accelerate deployments of IPTV technologies. Their aim is to take the next generation of IPTV into a mass market service and maximise the benefits of IPTV for consumers as well as the industry.
