become a viable delivery platform for broadcast television and VOD. We will
draw upon lessons from Europe, Asia and North America on how successful IPTV
services are designed, with reference to the types of services and content
that works - and especially how IPTV providers can differentiate themselves
from the existing video offers from cable and satellite.
