A showcase featuring the latest applications of IPTV from across the globe will be one of the highlights of Europe’s leading dedicated IPTV event, IPTV World Forum. It is staged at the Olympia Conference Centre, London, 6th – 8th March, 2006.

“This is the largest of our series of dedicated IPTV events around the world,” said organiser Ian Johnson. “IPTV is a big talking point in the telecoms market – at a time when increased ARPU and reduced churn are key to operator success. Triple-Play is to play a major role in the development of the market in the very near future.”
The applications showcase will feature state-of-the-art demonstrations from IPTV providers around the world. Visitors to the show will be able to see, first-hand, the full capabilities and the provision of live and on-demand video over Internet Protocol. There will be a demo lounge dedicated to showcasing live and simulated services from commercially available IPTV packages.
A further attraction of the event will be the prestigious industry party, organised by Fashion TV, one of the four most distributed channels worldwide.
