ITU-T Study Group 9
(Integrated broadband cable
networks and television and sound
transmission)
Summary of Results
Study Period 2005-2008
Richard Green
Terms of Reference
Use of cable and hybrid networks, primarily
designed for television and sound programme
delivery to the home, as integrated broadband
networks also carry voice or other time critical
services, video on demand, interactive services,
etc.
Use of telecommunication systems for
contribution, primary distribution and secondary
distribution of television, sound programmes and
similar data services.

Future Work
Refinement and enhancement of IPCablecom and
IPCablecom 2 to optimize the architecture for wide-scale
deployment
Enhancement of the next generation set-top box to support
a new architecture which bundles various service platforms
and assures cross-platform and multi-platform
Development of an appropriate platform architecture to
provide advanced multimedia services such as telemedicine, remote-learning, etc along with sound and TV
program over IP networks
Application Programming Interfaces (API) for advanced
content distribution services and for use in next generation
set-top boxes
Development of IPTV related Recommendations aligned
with IPTV-GSI effort
