2. IPTV Evolution
IPTV will evolve from a pure IP based TV service to a multimedia, multiplatform
and multitask based “Next Generation TV”
“[IPTV] is a process where our distributors [franchised operators]
take our linear networks and chop up the signals into little packets
and send them out over a secure network and put it back together
for their customers.”
[Sean Riley, Senior Vice President of Sales for Fox]
“[NGTV] is a TV offering that goes beyond what MSOs, satellite
providers and Telcos are currently offering. Its contours are being
defined everyday by, among others, network operators, content

owners, internet brands, consumer electronic manufacturers and
viewers. NGTV will definitely expand to encompass a form of
WebTV and it will also be mobile.
