Leading broadband, analysis and video blogging site
IPTV Evangelist revealed the results of the IPTV Top 50 of 2006, its list of the key players who are
changing the face of IPTV and online video.
Sponsored by WineLibrary TV and culled from hundreds of reader
submissions, the list is the first of its kind to put names to one of the
most dynamic and white-hot trends of Web 2.0. The list includes such
figures as IPTV content creators Amanda Condon, Amanda across America;
Brian Conley, Alive in Baghdad; reporters and analysts Brian Dolan,
FierceIPTV; Stephen Saunders, LightReading.com; Tom Steinert-Threlkeld,
Multichannel News; executives Jeremy Allaire, BrightCove; John Chambers,
Cisco; Serge Tchuruk, Alcatel; Ramu Potarazu, Broadstream; Chad Hurley,
YouTube.
"It truly is a diverse list," said Gilbert B. Hammer, editor and founder
of IPTV Evangelist. "When we began accepting submissions in November, we
had no idea that we'd receive such an enthusiastic response from the
industry. While we realize that the results are no means scientific, we
nonetheless think that it was important to highlight the full range of
personalities, skill sets and contributions, from the executive suite on
down to the production suite."
