1. Introduction
The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) is a pan-industry initiative with the
purpose of producing end-to-end specifications for IPTV that will
take the next generation of IPTV into the mass market. The Forum,
which is fully open to participation from the communications,
entertainment, and other relevant industries, will focus on the
development of specifications that will help streamline and
accelerate deployments of IPTV technologies and will maximize the
benefits of IPTV for consumers, network operators, content providers,
service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, and home and
network infrastructure providers.
The main objective of the Open IPTV Forum is to produce end-to-end
specifications for IPTV including:
o Architecture and interfaces
o Network and terminal functionality
o Interactive and personalized services

o Technology choices for all major functionalities
o A common UNI (User-Network Interface) for the Open Internet and
Managed Networks
o Certification of equipment, including end user devices and
service provider offerings
The end-to-end specifications support:
o A variety of IPTV and Internet multimedia services
o Managed networks and the Open Internet
o Integration with communication services
o Convergence of IPTV and multimedia services across different
access technologies
o Easy integration of third-party content offerings
o Authentication and content protection
o Various devices in the home network
The OIPF is basing its end-to-end IPTV specifications on relevant
standards produced by other bodies and is collaborating with them to
encourage convergence where appropriate and address any shortcomings
