Description

The managed IPTV services offered by telecom providers have been a primary investment focus during the last 2 years. IPTV services in Asia, Europe and North America have begun to take form in early commercial deployments and field trials. Only recently have the operational costs associated with these deployments come into focus.

Service providers are spending billions to upgrade their networks to add IPTV applications in the home. Because the capital and operational investments to upgrade the network are so high, service providers need keep their support costs as low as possible. However, installation and support costs are still very high, and service providers are looking for options that will decrease these costs in both the short and long term.
