IPTV is one of the most discussed
value added service on Telecom Broadband infrastructure. IPTV which
is an acronym for Internet Protocol Television is many times misunderstood
as Internet TV. Though IPTV is delivered through the broadband infrastructure
(largely on ADSL)it does not use Internet and cannot be accessed
unless subscribed for the service
In this service the television channels
are encoded in IP format and delivered to TV using IPTV set top
box in digital format giving unparallel clarity and viewing experience.
With the launch of Multiplay services,
the consumers of IPTV would be able to access three communication
media viz, telephony, internet and television through existing single
telephone line. All three services can be used simultaneously without
any interference to each other.

is the support for “Interactive” services. The competing technologies
like Cable, DTH, Terrestrial Etc., cannot support this because of
no or limited talk back capabilities.
