Techs, telcos team up to set Internet TV standard
A word of explanation: "Open IPTV Forum" isn't about having open, non-proprietary IPTV for the end-consumer. It's about having open, non-proprietary systems components for the service providers to choose from to build their closed, proprietary service delivery platforms.
Analogous organization: DVB, which sets standards used by a variety of satellite, terrestrial, and mobile TV systems ... some of which are "open" from the end consumer's perspective.
