Alcatel, is sponsoring this year`s TVoDSL Forum, to be held at the Hotel Sofitel Paris Bercy on January 20-23. At the Forum, Alcatel executives and subject matter experts will address the range of important business and technical topics that are crucial for the mass adoption of this exciting broadband application.
As service providers around the world begin to move from trials to actual deployment of TV over DSL services, Alcatel is a key player for enabling this exciting service that is becoming key to operators offering a "Triple Play" of voice, data and video capabilities over their DSL network.
Fuelled by the rapid growth in demand for bandwidth-intensive broadband services, telecommunications service providers are bolstering their service offerings by incorporating entertainment services into their broadband portfolios.
Many operators world-wide are currently involved in either commercial roll-outs or field trials of broadband video services. Alcatel, the world leader in DSL and broadband applications, is providing video solutions to more than 10 of those operators. With its expertise and knowledge on business models, market dynamics and technology, Alcatel is in a unique position to advise customers on moving into the video over DSL space.
Alan Mottram, President of Alcatel`s fixed solutions activities comments: "Facing the well known downturn of traditional voice revenues, and new competition coming from cable and other operators, telecom providers have to develop new revenue sources, and new services to attract and keep their customer base, and therefore move towards triple play services. Alcatel has been at the birth crib of video solutions, and has strengthened its position over the past year to become the main player in this domain."
In addition to mastering the technology chain, Alcatel has facilitated the discussions between all of the stakeholders in the dynamic broadband industry in order to find viable business models that satisfy the consumer demand but also fit the current and future business objectives of the market players.
