to tap into new revenue streams beyond data and voice services. This growing
technology allows the delivery of broadcast-quality digital television and
other services over a broadband network using Internet technology. IPTV will
permanently change how people consume content, and has the potential to
change the business proposition for every company working in the
entertainment, communications and data industry today.
