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.
Famous quotes containing the words world, forum, eastern and/or europe:
“The world goes by my cage and never sees me.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“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)
“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
