IPTV Solutions
Overview
The two-way nature of Internet Protocol technology provides for features such as content on demand and real-time interactivity, differentiating Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) totally from regular broadcast television.
Opportunities
IPTV provides a great opportunity for media and entertainment companies to add innovative and value added service offerings to end customers. For media companies such as satellite television channels, the IPTV revolution offers a new revenue stream in addition to cable subscriber revenues. For entertainment companies this is a whole new way of delivering content.
For both, IPTV offers innovative ways of forging relationships with customers. For example, movie on demand, facility to buy a product advertised online etc., are some services that can be extended to customers.
Challenges
The challenges, however, are far from few. To justify the investment in IPTV, companies have to integrate IPTV seamlessly with their existing services. Also, a majority of the existing infrastructure and systems do not support the billing of IPTV content. They may also not have ability to bundle/unbundle products and services.
