Dear MPEGIF News Readers,

 

We hope that you had a good start into the New Year and wish you all the
very best, success and prosperity in 2006.

 

Our industry is progressing full steam with many new exciting products and

services being launched; we have also seen the first major trade show this

year, CES in Las Vegas a few weeks back, and are steering towards many other

exciting events such as NAB (April), where we, together with our friends at

ISMA, are organizing a Super Session titled "Advanced Video Services - from

Broadband to Wireless". Please mark Sunday, 23 April in your calendar and
see more information on this event below. Please also note a very
interesting event coming up in March -- the IPTV World Forum in London, UK. 

 

I hope that you will find our latest news digest interesting and
informative.

 

Kind regards, 

 

Sebastian Moeritz 

President, MPEGIF
