Introduction IPTV Zone@IBC2010 In the Zone: IPTV@IBC2010
IPTV, and its role within the brave new Connected World, will be a key focus of exhibits at this year’s IBC. This Supplement offers a guide to all IPTV Zone exhibitors, ensuring your time within the Connected World Hall (Hall 9) is maximised.
As the world drags itself out of recession and our industry brushes itself down, we discover that not only has it survived, but it has emerged inspired. Service bouquets are now capable of delivering TV content in new and exciting forms - encompassing SD, HD and, increasingly, 3D - and delivered to platforms that transcend the traditional small screen. And even if the number of deals in the industry has shrunk compared with traditional levels, the average value of the deal has sky-rocketed, perhaps higher than during the boom days of the mid-90s. Enabled by the mass availability of high bandwidth network infrastructures - including satellite and cable as well as DSL, fibre and 3G/wireless networks - TV and video content is now being consumed everywhere around the home, delivered to set top boxes and other receivers and delivered at acceptable levels of quality to state of the art TVs, PCs, laptops, netbooks, media tablets (such as
the iPad), mobile phones, games platforms and portable media players of all description. The IPTV Zone - and its associated Business Briefings and the brand new ‘Armchair Revolutionary’ conference sessions - will provide an invaluable focus for this evolving landscape at IBC2010.
