ITU-T IPTV GSI Standards and IPTV
Forums/Consortia Activities

Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Highlight of Current Activities
ITU-T has taken leadership role in
collaborative approach to developing
global IPTV standards over past years
ITU-T PTV Focus Group invited collaboration
from all organizations. Was open to all parties
IPTV GSI continued work with all members to
promote consistent set of standards
As a result, there has been generally good
collaboration with many regional
standards development organizations
(ATIS IIF, ETSI TISPAN, DVB Project,
IETF, etc.) to build on existing IPTV
related specifications and address gaps in
IPTV standards.

Highlight of Current Activities
Some Industry Consortia/Forums continue
to work “outside” the standards bodies,
with little/no action to collaborate or align
activities.
E.g. the Open IPTV Forum develops documents
often quoted as “standards”, but with no
reference/collaborations with ITU-T IPTV GSI
activities.
MultiServices Forum (MSF) has work on IPTV
architecture and interoperability testing, in
collaboration with ATIS IIF, but independent of
ITU-T IPTV FG/GSI initiatives.
IPTV Forums being set up in other countries
Result is industry confusion which IPTV
standards to follow !

Open IPTV Forum Issue
Formed over year ago to promote IPTV
technology by several companies, mostly
members of GSC involved SDOs.
Mandate includes collaboration with standards
organizations, but there was no engagement
with ITU-T IPTV FG or GSI activities.
ITU-T Recommendations are not even referenced
(E.g. Recs. Y. 1910, 1901, J. 700, H.700 series
etc.)
Open IPTV Forum architecture/interfaces and
terminology not aligned with ITU-T Recs.

Multi-Services Forum Issue
Multi-Services Forum (MSF) focused on
Global MSF Interoperability (GMI) testing
event for IPTV.
Some interaction with ATIS IIF activities
for this event, but not with ITU-T IPTV
GSI.
MSF GMI testing was based on MSF IPTV
architecture/interfaces documents.
Interface protocols were typically mostly
standards based (e.g. IETF). Testing did
not go through IIF or ITU-T approvals
process

Strategic Direction
ITU-T IPTV GSI management and
members need to communicate with IPTV
Consortia/Forums to identify potential for
industry confusion/market fragmentation
if standards are misaligned/overlapping.
Forums/Consortia perform a valuable role
in promoting IPTV technologies and
engaging broader interests and
membership (e.g. consumer electronics
vendors), but need to ensure consistent
set of IPTV architecture/interfaces and
requirements.

Next Steps/Actions
Send communications to all IPTV related
Forums/Consortia to invite
cooperation/collaboration to align basic
set of IPTV architecture/interfaces and
terminology specifications with the ITU-T .
Advise common membership of the
potential for IPTV related industry
confusion if conflicting architectural
specifications are developed outside of the
global standardization processes fostered
by the ITU-T.
