You will learn how IPTV systems work and learn that IPTV programs can be watched on different types of viewing devices such as standard televisions with adapters, dedicated IP televisions, multimedia computers and mobile telephones. Learn how telephone, CATV, mobile telephone, electric utilities can offer TV services through their existing systems!

IPTV has a Google-Like advertising model where advertising messages can be targeted to specific viewers. Because IPTV ads can be addressed to specific viewers, they can achieve 10x the amount of advertising revenue. Because IPTV systems use two-way communication, the advertising messages can be linked to television shopping carts (t-commerce).
