Smart
Digivision and SeaChange International have
been honored for their consumer service innovation on the breakthrough MyWay
IPTV service at this year’s Global Telecoms Business Innovation Awards. Rolling
out across India with a world-class offering of on-demand and personal television
applications, Smart Digivision’s MyWay takes full advantage of SeaChange middleware,
digital video systems and professional services.

MyWay’s “Consumer Service Innovation” award was presented during Global Telecoms Business

innovative projects by telecom operators and service providers from around the world.
Guests included chief executive officers, chief technology officers and others from

By taking advantage of SeaChange’s TV Navigator middleware, electronic program guide,
video-on-demand systems and set top box applications, SmartDigivision aims to bring
MyWay IPTV to over three million subscribers throughout India on broadband networks
of telco operators BSNL and MTNL. As the principal integrator, SeaChange is orchestrating
the rollout of MyWay, which will encompass pause live TV; convergence services for
integrated email; an on-demand library of DVDs, music and games; and over 150 broadcast
TV channels.

Hundreds of nominations for the industry’s innovative projects were received from
the readers of Global Telecoms Business since early in 2009. The winners represent
the most innovative projects in the industry worldwide in five key categories including
fixed network infrastructure, wireless network infrastructure, wholesale service,
business service, and consumer service.

At present, SNL Kagan calls Asia Pacific the world’s third-largest “IPTV economy”

IPTV subscriber base will grow to 20 million by 2012, a 29.9% compound annual growth
rate, and that service revenues will rise to $3.1 billion by 2012.
