Thomson commits to Open IPTV Forum

Thomson has become a full member of the Open IPTV Forum, the company said last week.

Leveraging its experience in offering end-to-end IPTV solutions, Thomson joins forces with other telecom industry leaders in defining standards for delivering new advanced multimedia services and shaping the future of the broadband market.

According to Patrick Montliaud, senior VP of Thomson's Networks and Integration Solutions business unit, becoming a full member of the Open IPTV Forum means the company is “committing significant engineering resources” to make open standards real.
