As IPTV is being deployed at mass scale by large telecom service
providers around the globe, the service is quickly morphing from a
video
service to compete with cable and satellite into a whole-home
communications and entertainment system that ties the TV set into the
voice and computing systems consumers are already using.
At NXTcomm08, major equipment vendors will be demonstrating just how IP
convergence in the home is likely to play out.
“At NXTcomm, IPTV or video will remain a big highlight for us but in
the context of the Connected Home,” said Pankaj Gupta, senior manager
for Broadband and IPTV/Video Marketing in the Service Provider
Marketing
Group at Cisco, which is using NXTcomm08 to show off its end-to-end
video solution from headend to set-top box. “We are very focused on
the empowered consumer.”
Connecting TVs and PCs onto an IP network in the home already enables
sharing of music and photos from one platform to the next, but service
providers are going well beyond those early offerings.
“We believe the TV today is the PC of the ‘80s,” said Christine
Heckart, general manager of marketing for Microsoft’s TV business.
Just as PCs became more vital tools once they are connected to the
Internet, so the TV experience will also be transformed by its
connection to the rest of the world, she said. “We are only beginning
to take advantage of that," Heckart said. “Now we can start to look
at
how we can transform the experience -- that is where the magic of
software comes in.”
