Strategic Direction

Accommodate requirements abstracted from
• real operational need
• identified IPTV market trends

Keep in line with Global Standard activities
• adopt ITU-T IPTV recommendations as much as possible

Challenges
 Convergence introduces challenges
• To define Unified architecture which should support
Practicable & Flexible Business model
• To open system capabilities to others, while the system
must be manageable and in high level of security
• To provide many kinds of terminal device access to IPTV
for personal and adapted application and content
6
Next Steps/Actions
 Develop 2nd version of IPTV service requirements
• Call for new requirements from the industry
• Revise CCSA IPTV service requirements standard
 Develop new version of CCSA IPTV Architecture
• Revise IPTV Architecture according those new requirements
• Add new capabilities, e.g. Ad insertion, audience measurement, mobility
management, UGC
• Expose capabilities (API) to third party SPs
 Encourage members to participate IPTV work of ITU-T
 Cooperate with other SDOs
