Posted on: Friday, 12 September 2008, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5f3ee1/iptv_ims_and_the) has announced the addition of the "IPTV, IMS and the Emergence of Multi-Service Convergence" report to their offering.

IPTV Operators are facing dramatically new challenges for them to create services and features that are relevant to a new generation of consumers, who crave to be in constant contact and share all manner of content over broadband networks to multiple devices.

Tracking the IMS, SDP and NGN plans of the big and the small Operators and vendors, this report smoothes the path for Operators & IPTV vendors to map future CapEx events in the next five years of a highly competitive market.

The IPTV, IMS and the Emergence of Multi-Service Convergence report details the needs, features, use-cases, emerging standards, evolving Service Delivery Platforms and technology suppliers that will help Operators deliver these services as a unified, converged whole; and it makes recommendations as to how Operators may address these new service challenges.
