SUMMARY
IPTV services are seen by many as the future for telecoms operators who wish
to make up for the decline of revenues from traditional voice. Currently,
their diffusion is still limited but growing. One of the main concerns is
around regulatory aspects, as the IPTV value chain cuts across both the
traditional broadcasting and telecoms network infrastructure worlds. In this
report we provide an overview of where regulation stands today in the
different layers of the IPTV value chain.
