Short summary of DVB-internal Workshop on Network and Service Convergence held on June 6th in Frankfurt
Agenda of DVB Convergence Workshop Session 1: Convergence seen by key players in the market Session 2: Convergence seen by the DVB ad-hoc groups active in the world of IP such as CM-IPTV, TM-CBMS and TM-IPI Session 3: Integration of closely related DVB technology Session 4: Options for Convergence in DVB Session 5: Mapping of common core technologies in both worlds and presentation of options how DVB could handle convergence Session 6: Discussion of options and first conclusion
Sorts of Convergence and their impact seen from the operator Service Innovation Infrastructure Cost (IT/Network) Commercial Efficiency Technical Efficiency • Service Convergence • Place-Shifting • Device Shifting • Remote Self Care • Marketing Convergence • Single Bill • Single Price • Cross-Service Discounts • Convergent Architecture • Applicative Broker Engine • NGN/IMS architecture • Seamless Network Management
Building blocks and related technology choices Convergence to single technology choices in short and mid-term seems to be problematic
Example: Share common key technologies between the 3 DVB domains
Example: Reuse of DVB building blocks in TISPAN IMS-based architecture* *: There is a similar one for the NGN dedicated approach
Key topics that have been discussed: • Convergent Architecture for IPTV and IPDC • Convergent Services for IPTV and IPDC • Relation with other Standards Development Organizations • A second workshop on convergence will be organized later in the year
