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.

“There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration.... The United States does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Of old the world on dreaming fed;
Grey Truth is now her painted toy....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“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 need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
