TOPIC:  “Over The Top TV”

Speaker: Marc Savoie VP of Product Management at Mariner Partners Inc.     

Event Overview – Content and web 2.0 applications are exploding on the net, and TV is racing to catch up. Built on the same platform and technologies that drive the Internet, IPTV is poised to revolutionize the viewing experience. But something’s not quite right. Take a look at the Telecom TV industry today: with a few exceptions you’ll find providers are focused on keeping pace with the cable industry. Where is the innovation?
