Service providers have been examining the prospect of delivering pay-TV services as part of a "triple play" of video, voice, and Internet services. They understand the technology of IPTV—now they need to know that the technology has moved beyond the discussion stage and can actually be implemented. Delivering the Promise of IPTV examines recent advances in both TV delivery and computing/networking technologies for delivering a profitable, successful next-generation TV offering. The focus of this comprehensive report is on using advances in Internet technologies and networking to deliver competitive, multichannel pay-TV services.
The phenomenal growth of broadband access has fueled demand for converged voice, video, and data services-now known as the "triple play." For service providers today, simply offering broadband Internet is no longer enough. To garner new customers, hold on to current ones, and ensure revenue growth, today's providers must continue to move toward offering the triple play as a value-added service bundle. With this opportunity, however, come many economic, technological, and operational challenges.
