What is IPTV?

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol TV, which is broadcast-quality television delivered over standard home broadband Internet. While offering the same quality as satellite or cable, IPTV has many advantages including virtually limitless programming and on-demand content. All content -- including HDTV -- can be distributed on a subscription or pay-per-view basis with content presentation tailored to each user's preference. Best of all, IPTV offers true interactivity for the customer. IPTV allows for two-way communication with services comparable to the Web and creates a better environment for users, programmers and advertisers.
