SUMMARY
This report reveals how effective Home Networking (HN) strategies can improve
the competitiveness of an IPTV Operator against Cable and Satellite,
reposition the IPTV Operator in the growing battle against the PC and CE
(consumer electronics) industries, and can reduce operational expenses (OpEx)
through use of best-practices for installing and managing the Home Network. By
improving their monitoring and management of the Home Network, IPTV Operators
can position themselves for future converged services while reducing OpEx
today.
