Adavntages of IPTV
IPTV is a truly interactive service and can provide numerous services like e-commerce, e-governance, e-education, e-medicine, weather and infotainment etc,. IPTV is still in nascent phase in India. Considering the current scenario, IPTV can be said to have both pros and cons.
- Interactive Nature
One of the best advantages of IPTV is that it uses internet protocol to provide two way communication, making the television viewing experience truly interactive. Through this technology, viewers not only receive data but can also send data back. For example, e-mailing, instant messaging, ticket booking, e-shopping and participation in live votes are all possible through IPTV.
- Triple Play service
IPTV provides triple play service, which allows TV broadcasting, high-speed internet connection and telephony on one platform.
- TV viewing at convenience
- On-demand content
- On demand advertising
- Internet penetration
Technology of the Future
IPTV is a technology of the future and is gradually taking off India. We firmly believe that IPTV and other value added services will spur penetration of broadband in India. The IPTV forum has set a target of acquiring one million subscribers by 2012. The compelling factors, which will attract consumers will be IPTV’s interactive features and value added services.
Delivering entertainment content over broadband networks will empower users to view their content at times pre-set by them. IPTV will also serve as a stimulator for the growth of broadband in the country as it will generate the demand for increased broadband capacity and networks.
Bright Potential
Technologies are challenging rapidly and so are the innovators of content for these technologies, but what is agonising is that our policy framework is too slow to cope with the change needs. Customers are more than willing to select any service that entertains them and gives them value for their money. Whether one is withdrawing money from an ATM machine, purchasing a ticket through the internet, paying utility bills online.
