    Session Details

    The availability of broadband internet connections enables service providers to deliver television and video over the top of existing data networks, either as a standalone offering or as a hybrid combining broadcast channels and other programming delivered over broadband. This may represent a threat or an opportunity for traditional broadcasters and pay-television service providers.

    The recently launched Fetch TV service from IP Vision enables broadcast digital terrestrial television channels to be combined with video-on-demand programming delivered over a broadband network from any service provider.

    Eddie Abrams, the chief executive of IP Vision will share his experience in launching Fetch TV. Joining him will be representatives of two organisations seeking to establish open standard platforms for delivering programming over broadband.

    After lunch, members of the European Broadcasting Union and Open IPTV Forum will discuss their proposals in more detail.
