As an industry professional, you may be interested to know about an upcoming Web seminar being presented by Light Reading: Making Broadcast IPTV Standard & Scalable.

Although IPTV deployments are under way today, they use proprietary systems that limit interoperability and functionality. IP network operators are not yet able to take full advantage of their IP network capabilities for video, including IP multicast and MPLS multipoint technologies, in the same way they are using IP for managed data services. This Webinar will explore the requirements placed on service provider networks by broadcast IPTV, various technologies for delivering a deployable solution, and standards activities in the IPTV area to create true mix-and-match IPTV delivery networks.

Join us on Wednesday, April 14, at 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London time, for this live Webinar sponsored by Metaswitch Networks.
