The emergence of IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) as an industry in its own right has given rise to conferences and exhibitions for professionals in the industry. Rather than being included as an offshoot in more wide-ranging events, IPTV events now tackle the specific challenges and opportunities of IPTV deployment in various regions, as the number of IPTV services made available continues to increase.
These events include IPTV World Forum Eastern Europe, part of the IPTV World Series, which offers telecoms companies, technology vendors and broadcasters the opportunity to meet and plan expansion of the global IPTV market. The second annual event will be held in Prague in May 2007.

“Should the German people lay down their arms, the Soviets ... would occupy all eastern and south-eastern Europe together with the greater part of the Reich. Over all this territory, which with the Soviet Union included, would be of enormous extent, an iron curtain would at once descend.”

“Who wants a world in which the guarantee that we shall not die of starvation entails the risk of dying of boredom?”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience—it also marks the time, which is four o’clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
“The confrontation between America and Europe reveals not so much a rapprochement as a distortion, an unbridgeable rift. There isn’t just a gap between us, but a whole chasm of modernity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
