Service Providers to their offering. Internet Video is a conundrum for IPTV(1) service providers. On the one hand, most IPTV service providers also offer high-speed Internet See broadband. service, and video sites such as YouTube and Joost fuel a heavy demand for broadband. On the other hand, Internet Video competes with IPTV for viewers, and with the advertising revenues that come from those viewers. So, is Internet Video a threat or an opportunity? In this report, we come down firmly on the side of opportunity. The fact is that watching video has become an integral part of Internet usage for most people. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the Pew Internet & American Life Project (2): -The majority of adult Internet users in the U.S. (57%) report watching or downloading some type of online video content, and 19% do so on a typical day. -Almost three-quarters of broadband users (74%) who have high-speed connections at both home and work watch or download video online. For those who have high-speed access only at home, 66% report online video consumption, compared with 39% of home dial-up users. -Roughly one in three (31%) Internet users ages 18-29 said they watched or downloaded some type of video on a typical day during the period of the Pew survey.

So, how can IPTV service providers take advantage of that viewership? There are Internet Video broadcast services in testing and small-scale deployment. Most of these services focus on sending video to PCs, although some are deploying their own set-top boxes. We don't believe that either option will represent a major threat to IPTV service providers for several years, because of the business issues related to distributing high-quality licensed content over the Internet. In short, Internet Video represents a remarkable opportunity to IPTV service providers to expand their audience, generate more advertising revenues and hold onto subscribers once they acquire them. This report is intended to help IPTV service providers to understand and implement their own Internet Video services.
