Workshop Subject Matter Just Announced

TelcoTV will hold three workshops on Tuesday, November 10th. Workshops are sponsored by Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco and Conklin-Intracom.

Alcatel-Lucent has just announced their topic:

Effectively Delivering Triple Play Services while Minimizing Costs
As voice revenues and market share decline, regional communications providers need effective new ways to increase subscriber ARPU — and fend off intensified competition from cable, satellite and Internet video providers. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) represents a unique opportunity for network operators to upgrade their networks and greatly enhance their service delivery capabilities. IP video is a key component for serving communities, and IPTV, in particular, represents essential next-generation services which open up valuable revenue opportunities. This Workshop will highlight those revenue opportunities and discuss a streamlined delivery of triple play services with an end-to-end, tested solution that supports a wide range of IP video capabilities. It will address the unique challenges of operators in low-density markets.

And Conklin-Intracom has announced their's as well:

IPTV Ecosystem Building Workshop
Every successful IPTV deployment shares common characteristics: highly knowledgeable service providers and solution providers bringing together people and technologies to meet and exceed the quality of experience expectations of IPTV subscribers. This fast-paced workshop is packed with real world insight and guidance on topics including (but not limited to) business case creation, new content acquisition, transport and distribution technologies, differentiation through local content development, local advertising monetization, network optimization & troubleshooting. Service providers will walk away with an enhanced, comprehensive view of the current state of the IPTV ecosystem and how best to benefit from the new products and services available in order to increase customer satisfaction, retain subscribers and increase revenues.

Cisco's session topic should be available in the next week or so - I'll keep you posted
