3. Key Forces Affecting Telecom Industry
The advent of Web 2.0 technologies and community/social networking, causing traditional
media to radically rethink their roles and business models to remain relevant. Media
companies are all repositioning for the new digital age.
Wireline broadband is hitting critical mass at last, creating opportunities for both streaming
and on demand (archieved) broadband video content to PCs, as an alternative to traditional
TV. Video content for broadband is growing exponentially.
Culturally, a generation is growing up that is steeped in new communications technologies, to
the extent that the TV is just one of many devices used for entertainment and often no longer
even the primary device.
Mobile data technologies are rapidly evolving, and we are seeing the beginnings of business
models built around video content streamed to mobile devices such as cellphones and iPods,
creating yet another entertainment platform option for consumers and adding more pressure
to the ‘lean back’ TV model.
IPTV is now a reality.
4. IPTV – Definition
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV):
Multimedia services such as television, video, audio, text, graphics, and data
delivered over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of
QoS/QoE, security, interactivity and reliability
Not just the delivery of video content over IP networks
Not just “the Internet”
Interactivity is a key attribute
Bidirectional communication is a key attribute
Definition of a TV is changing with advances in screen and wireless IP technology
IPTV is not just TV/Movies
5. Service Descriptions
Broadcast Video Services
Same as or similar to services offer by today cable operators.
National broadcast channels – RCTI, SCTV, TransTV, Indosiar,
ANTV, TPI, TVRI, TV7, Lativi etc
Local broadcast channels (local variants of national channels,
public educations, government, regional sports, etc) – JakTV,
JogjaTV, BandungTV, STV, Padjajaran TV, MQ TV etc.
Premium channels (HBO, ESPN, StarSport etc)
A percentage of broadcast content will be stored for replay at a
later time.
Combination of standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD)
content, moving to HD over time.
Narrowcast and/or unicast may be used for targeted consumer
groups.
Stored Video Services
Locally stored VOD – Widely popular titles broadcast to user’s
CPE; tied to digital resource management (DRM).
Network stored VOD – Less popular titles without as much
simultaneous viewing (immediate viewing may be unicast, later
viewing may be bundled for broadcast or narrowcast).
Subscription based VOD – Subscription version of prior two
service options, pre defined number of titles within a given time.
PVR – Subscribers with appropriate viewing rights can record
locally – or network stored content for later viewing. Viewing
rights may vary based on single, multiple, or unlimited content
use. DRM may enforce sharing between set top boxes (STBs)
within home.
Network based PVR – Similar to PVR, although content is stored
within the network rather than on the user's STB.

12. Remember the Basic
Key Finding in Service
Triple play is no longer just a revenue enhancer, but a must for long term survival; telcos must devise
a video strategy in the coming year.
Telcos must become involved in the creation of content and services.
The telco business case for triple play is improving, but many telcos feed the ‘grand slam’ of voice,
data, video and mobility will be their long term differentiator from competitors.
The emphasis on and interest in triple play are clear indications that telcos are rediscovering the
importance of the consumer market.
Second to competition, the ability to increase ARPU by 100 percent is driving renewed interest in
video.
The video market is evolving from broadcast to personal.
Telcos plan to differentiate their video services not so much by adding advanced features, but rather
by bundling them with voice and video.
There are sharp regional differences in how telcos are prioritizing the rollout of new services.
Smaller, independent telcos are talking the lead in deploying IP based video services.
Key Finding in Technology
IP is emerging as the telco’s most critical weapon in a showdown with cable competitors.
Although much has been made of FTTP in the past year, telcos worldwide remain committed to
delivering bundled services over their copper networks.
The complexity associated with entry into the video business will lead many vendors back into the
system integration and professional services business.
The move to video over DSL will spell the end of ATM DSLAMs and force the migration to IP DSLAMs
and Ethernet transport.
Operator worldwide are finding that a minimum 20 Mbps is required to enable a compelling triple
play offer over DSL.
xDSL is more important now then ever before.
Access services are converging toward IP.

16. IPTV Issues
Consider IPTV service from user perception: the traditional TV service is available 99.99%
Take care about video quality:
Manage carefully, not just the encoding but the end-to-end service
Plan if , when, where and for which customers migrate to High Definition, despite the strong appeal
Keep it simple, at least the beginning: concentrate in providing basic services first (BTV and VoD). TV
watchers don’t have complexity and there is a potential risk to reject too complex service by customers
Take into consideration that new content is important however innovative services involving traditional
content sound also interesting (i.e. TSTV, The day before TV)
Allocate needed time: i.e. Telecom Argentina has planned a 18 months project to analyze, trial, collect and
elaborate results and then select IPTV service platform/vendor.
Pay attention to customer care, at least at the beginning: different experiences from Telco operators shown
that clients expect a dedicated and technically competent customer care.
Make a good trial: run it without introducing any dependency on your future decision. It has certain costs
but you will have all the flexibility to make a choice for a successful business.
Take your time to learn: how to organize internal processes for IPTV services delivery, assurance and
management. TV wasn’t a Telco business before.
Select STB carefully: usually STB represents 40-45% of Capex for IPTV service and choose STB allowing
remote management and updating.
Middleware should include all major back-end modules such as content management, security management
and basic subscriber management
Middleware front end (GUI) client technologies for IPSTB should be closer to the web browser technologies
available today, which would allow sustainable and cost effective IPTV applications development
17. IPTV Issues
In some business case, video streaming or download & play services over IP is analog of IPTV
(Web TV or Mobile TV)
Content for IPTV could be exploited also over IP Web Portal (Web TV)
IPTV platform should support multitrack audio
IPTV components adopting standards would avoid proprietary solution and dependency on
vendor (e.g. DRM)
Better choice is to be VoD vendor’s solution independent
Preferred solution is that having richer BSS features integrated (e.g. content bundling, special
offers and discount, advertisement campaigns, … )
Exposure IPTV platform to third parties should be considered (both from regulatory and
business)
18. Summary
IPTV - Not just the delivery of video content over IP networks
IPTV as Third Wave Revenue Telco:
Business model as key success – define and decide.
Integrated as Network, Service and Content deliverable.
Growth with Community Content Development
Improvement for IPTV Business Model that already being deployed is IPTV
not just services but community development to enhanced market
penetration for Broadband Deployment.
