What is Internet TV?

Internet IPTV is the latest in direct to consumer entertainment service delivered via public or private IP network, providing truly interactive:

• Broadcast Live Television,
• Video on Demand and
• PVR (Personal Video Recorder).

Broadband is expanding at an unprecedented rate; year on year it outpaces all statistical predictions and is currently approaching billion homes worldwide. In the UK alone there are over 18 million homes connected and ADSL2+ technology provides 24Mbps speed, while 2 Mbps is now the minimum bandwidth available and sufficient for broadcast quality video delivery. Estimates are that 90% of internet bandwidth is linked to audio and video streaming broadcast and on-demand media file downloads. ISP operators realize that this is the main driving force behind broadband uptake and are eager to participate in the revenue share model with content owners by opening their networks for media delivery. Inexpensive Internet set-top-boxes and game consoles are expanding audiences by delivering viewing comfort identical to TV cable and satellite experience. When we factor in the low cost of distribution, size of the audience and the fact that Internet open standard IPTV is not regulated (no licenses required, no restriction on ad sales etc.) it becomes instantaneously clear why IPTV is fast becoming the biggest broadcast platform ever and will change the core nature of the industry much faster than previously believed.

Key reasons for fast switchover of major audiences to Internet IPTV platforms are:

• Fundamentally better TV,
• Gigantic worldwide programming choices,
• Easy content search,
• Live TV and On-demand with viewer interactivity,
• Multi-TV per household,
• High-definition capable,
• TV merges into home, office and mobile network.

Playout247 enables the new business model by providing a complete technology base and broadcast facility services to content owners, portal operators and ISPs to jointly deliver the best entertainment experience to a global audience.
