Pune, India, 13 – 15 December 2010 ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010 Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services Masahito Kawamori ITU-T IPTV-Global Standards Initiative ITU IPTV Standardization Activities

ITU-Ts Work on IPTV ITU-T has been spearheading the standardization in IPTV Focus Group on IPTV ( ) Responding to market demands for standard First set of draft on Architecture, QoS, Security, End-Systems and Multimedia Application IPTV Global Standardization Initiative (GSI) (2008-) Building on the work of Focus Group, Coordinating all ITU-Ts IPTV related activities Comprising Recommendations approved by 6 Study Groups, (SGs 9,11, 12,13,16,17) Every two to three months 2

IPTV and New Generation NW IPTV is part of the new wave, and one of the most highly visible services to emerge as part of work on the next generation network. It can be seen as both the business case and principal driver for accelerating deployment of NGN. IPTV subscriptions around the world will reach 48.8 million this year (Gartner). 3 Need for Global Standard

Standardized IPTV would mean Lower cost Wider Market Better Quality of Service and Experience More consorted security Open infrastructure Innovation and new services Standardized HTML gave us Web; Standardized IPTV will give a new Internet

Standard IPTV Service Deployment of ITU-T compliant products will enable service providers to offer value added services like traditional (linear) TV, video on demand (VoD) and interactive TV over IP-based managed networks such as NGN. 5

ITU-T IPTV Standards will Facilitate a market where service providers, whether traditional broadcasters, ISPs or telecoms service providers, control over their platforms and their offerings. Encourage innovation, help mask the complexity of services, guarantee QoS, ensure interoperability and ultimately help players remain competitive. 6

IPTV at ITU Defined as multimedia services, such as Television; Video; Audio; Text; Graphics; Data, delivered over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of QoS/QoE, security, interactivity and reliability. 3 Models of IPTV Architecture are defined (Y.1910) Non-NGN IPTV NGN without IMS IPTV NGN with IMS IPTV Enables a Progressive Migration Promotes competition and innovation 7

IPTV Value Chain ITU-T IPTV Standards cover all IPTV Value Chain Interact with content Discover and acquire service Content Provisioning Announce and advertise service Monitor and Manage service Deliver Content End to End Solution

Characteristics of ITU-T IPTV End-to-End Solution Not to reinvent the wheels -- Use existing standards as much as possible Practical approach for faster deployment and for meeting industry demands Close collaboration with other SDOs, broadcasters, and CE manufacturers Conformance and Interop tests installed Truly interoperable global standard 12

ITU-T Liaisons on IPTV To ensure interoperability and quality of standards, ITU-T IPTV is working with many SDOs 13

Current Status The set of Recommendations for Basic IPTV Service ready Provides TV service as well as VOD and Interactivity Published as ITU-T IPTV Handbook To incorporate other SDOs work as well Advanced features actively discussed Audience Measurement 3D Internet sourced Content Conformance and Interoperability Interoperability events conducted Conformance and Interoperability tested Conformance Recommendations drafted Implementation Guidelines worked on 14
