TV broadcasting over the Internet (IPTV) will be a major focus in a keynote address by Mr. Peter Price, the President of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, at the US IPv6 Summit Conference in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Reston, Virginia, Dec. 6-9, 2005.
How the New Internet can facilitate this future growth is a major topic at the Conference. "The New Internet" is the informal name of Internet Protocol version 6, the massive Internet upgrade that is slated to replace today's predominant version 4 (IPv4), in use since 1973. The switch to the new format has been widely supported in Europe and Asia, and was recently mandated for the US military and Federal Government.
Other speakers will include Mr. Mark Bayliss, CEO of Visual Link, who will discuss the technology aspects of TV over the Internet, and will demonstrate how the new IPv6 format increases quality of service while decreasing costs. He will be joined by other executives from Internet Service Providers and telecommunications companies, who will discuss the state of the market and the upcoming trend to so-called "triple play" services, where voice, Internet service and TV will all be provided via Internet Protocol.
