Strategic Direction • Accommodate requirements abstracted from • real operational need • identified IPTV market trends • Keep in line with Global Standard activities • adopt ITU-T IPTV recommendations as much as possible • make contribute to the ITU-T IPTV activities and other SDOs • liaise with ITU-T, IETF, ETSI, ATIS, and other SDOs • Strengthen cooperation with regional organizations • CJK • APT
Challenges • Convergence introduces challenges • To define Unified architecture which should support Practicable & Flexible Business model • To open system capabilities to others, while the system must be manageable and in high level of security • To provide many kinds of terminal device access to IPTV for personal and adapted application and content
Next Steps/Actions • Develop 2nd version of IPTV service requirements • Call for new requirements from the industry • Revise CCSA IPTV service requirements standard • Develop new version of CCSA IPTV Architecture • Revise IPTV Architecture according those new requirements • Add new capabilities, e.g. Ad insertion, audience measurement, mobility management, UGC • Expose capabilities (API) to third party SPs • Encourage members to participate IPTV work of ITU-T • Cooperate with other SDOs
