Vantage Point Solutions Contributes White Paper:
Vantage Point Solutions is providing its whitepaper, Access Network to the attendees of the Independent Telco Video Content Conference. This white paper explores network access platforms that are available for independent telcos to offer a “triple-play” of voice, high-speed data and video services to their subscribers. Platforms that are interoperable with twisted-pair, coaxial cable and fiber-to-the-home are compared. To review a one page summary of this white paper, please click here.
Several new speakers have been added to the Independent Telco Video Content Conference since the last issue of the Viodi View, including:
- Seth Kittay, President of All Channel Films
and an early pioneer of pay television, will discuss the process of
licensing independent films for television rebroadcast in his presentation,
Licensing films from an independent view point.
- Leif Street, Director of Sales & Marketing for Wood County Telephone Company, will talk about his experience in marketing cable services, via a VDSL network, against an entrenched cable operator in a presentation titled, It slices, it dices, it chops and peels... but what is it.
- John Baghdassarian, Regional Vice President for the Independent Film Channel and MagRack, will explain the programmers’ point of view and discuss the opportunities with niche on-demand content in a session titled, Everything for Everybody - How an On-Demand Environment Will Impact Linear Television.
- Lynn Hall, Director of Product Management for Knology, will give the view of interactive television from the perspective of a cash-flow positive, broadband service provider.
???Questions, Questions, Questions???:
Have questions regarding cable television, iTV, VOD, eTV? Wonder what those acronyms mean? How about questions, such as, “why can’t I just use a DVD’s digitized output and store it on a server?” Or, “Will the VOD rental window ever be the same as home video?”
The speakers at the Independent Telco Video Content Conference will have answers. This is your chance to ask questions, even if you won’t have the chance to join us in sunny, southern California. Please submit your questions here and they will be submitted to the speakers. Your information will be kept confidential, so as not to associate the question with an individual or company. Please submit questions to [email protected]
