For so many years the television had reigned as the primary source of household entertainment. It had been authoritative and become a powerful medium for advertising, publicity, awareness campaign and education.

However with the development of the Internet technology, the magic that the television once held has started to wane. This is because the power of a technology nowadays lies not in its size but in how fast it can be in reaching people wherever they are in the world.

The legacy TV suppliers, which include broadcast TV and satellite TV, therefore curve new pathways to provide people not only with a high quality video but also with quality video streaming. Hence, the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is conceived.

IPTV Basic Services

IPTV services include brief-format, small screen video content such as news, sports, and a number of adult websites. Eventually, its services extended into Internet video service. Hence, people obtain access to full-length movies and TV programs that are hugely in-demand.

With this series of innovations, IPTV can be considered as the alternative to cable networks. This features different television channels (including foreign channels from Hong Kong, Japan, and the rest of Asia, Africa, Europe, and America), movie channels, and documentary channels.

People can listen to around 20,000 radio stations and watch 6,000 Internet TV programs across the world. IPTV provides high quality audio and supports 59 languages.

Slight Risks On IPTV Service Infrastructure

Yet despite the hype about IPTV, there are several factors that may serve as a hindrance in realizing its full potential. Facilitators of IPTV systems thus need to consider the following:

First and foremost is the need to deliver secure content and quality in-house video service. There is also the issue on bandwidth. Slow internet traffic may make consumers unsatisfied. Existing legislations regarding such services are also vague.

Despite these slight risks it is the consumer demands that will certainly take the lead ─ challenging and providing hints on what is really needed to accomplish the task it is designed to fulfill.
