IP TV definitions and businees models

BT: Safe delivery of streamed visual content to users via a managed network and itspresentation on a TV set or a similar device

NTT: Digital TV service delivered to users via broadband IP network

TVP: IPTV – any audio/wideo transmission, which even partially is based on the IP protocol (prof. Marek Hołyński)

EIMS 2017 7

What is IPTV ?

• TV in the IP network

• Bidirectional channel between a user and a service provider

• Breakthrough in TV usage pattern

– Integration of IPTV service with other services

• Presence

• VoIP

• Social

Users perspective

• TV + Internet + telecom

• Time schedule independence

– time shift feature

– PVR

• Location independence

• Content personalization

• Migration to the idea of home entertainment and

communication center

– Set top box

– Home gateway

– Broadband access
