Global Standards Collaboration (GSC)
GSC-15
Highlight of Current Activities
 ITU-T has taken leadership role in collaborative approach
to developing global IPTV standards over past years
• Based on the deliverables of ITU-T PTV Focus Group,
ITU-T SGs are collaboratively developing set of
standards organizing IPTV GSI
 JCA-IPTV is coordinating between SGs and SDOs, and 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
 The First ITU-T IPTV Interoperability Event and
Showcase successfully took place in ITU in Geneva:
• 20 - 23 July 2010
• Eight organizations from across 3 continents took part
• Conformity and interoperability tested on ITU-T
Recommendations, including H.701 (error-recovery),
H.721 (IPTV terminal), H.740 (audience measurement),
H.750 (metadata), H.761 (ginga-NCL), H.762 (lightweight
interactive multimedia), H.770 (service discovery)
• Over IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity

Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
New work items
Following new work items are initiated:
 Mobile IPTV
• Mobile Security (SEG17), Mobile Network (SG13),
Mobile IPTV Terminal MW(SG16),
 3-Dimensional IPTV
• SG16: Collaboration with EBU, DVB, etc.
 Internet-Sourced Content
• SG16: Collaboration with ATIS-IIF
 Harmonization of Broadcast/IPTV Signals
• SG9 and SG16: Collaboration with EBU
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.
 Need to ensure consistent set of IPTV
architecture/interfaces and requirements
 Need to address the needs of market and
consumers in a consistent way – through
standards
6
Challenges
 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 !

Challenges - Open IPTV Forum Issue
 Formed over a 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. (www.openiptvforum.org)
