1. Standardization activities on IPTV in CCSA CCSA DOCUMENT #:GSC13-PLEN-25 FOR:Presentation SOURCE:CCSA AGENDA ITEM:Plenary; 6.6 CONTACT(S):Liuduo@mail.ritt.com.cn Submission Date: July 1, 2008

2. 2 CCSA IPTV initiatives aim to develop standards which can meet the urgent needs of the telcom, TV and broadband convergence. –Work completed (formally released) 1st Phase (Aug.2005 – Feb.2006): IPTV Definition, requirement & scenarios, IPTV Architecture and other general Issues 2nd Phase (Feb.2006 – 2007): Detailed arch. framework for Content delivery, DRM, security, service & network management, content management etc. –Currently focused on Interoperability issues Interface between IPTV terminal devices and the platform: open and standardized interface is the key factor to reduce the cost of STB Value added services interfaces (API) enable more SP develop IPTV VADS freely. Recently completed specifications: –Content Delivery interface –EPG interface –STB remote management interface Highlight of Current Activities (1)

3. 3 Strategic Direction (1) Focused on Interoperability of IPTV system and terminal devices –Interfaces between IPTV system and terminal devices: interfaces for EPG, media delivery, management etc. –Middleware in IPTV Terminal devices CCSA members contribute to the ITU-T IPTV activities –IPTV GSI Cooperation with regional organizations –CJK –APT

4. 4 Challenges To balance the flexibility (of service develop & deployment) and standardization work –Diversified service (requirements) under the IPTV “umbrella” vs. uniform architecture and interfaces To maintain a fare-play environment with the aid of open standards

5. 5 Next Steps/Actions Review and update the released specifications to align with the requirements of market when needed Start new work item to address emerging demands Continue to participate the IPTV work of ITU and other SDOs

6. 6 Proposed Resolution [optional] N/A
