TelcoTV announces an expanded show with two prestigious new components to be demonstrated during this year's November 11-13, 2008, conference at the Anaheim Convention Center in Orange County, Calif.

In its seventh year, TelcoTV is the largest and longest running telecommunications industry conference and exhibition focusing on TV and IPTV, as well as Internet and mobile video services. In addition to the expected 3,500 senior executives from a wide range of global telecom service providers large and small, this year's event will also include entertainment, digital media, advertising, Internet, and computer industry executives who want to partner with telcos to drive content and services over the "three screens" where consumers view video -- the TV, computer, and mobile phone. More than 175 exhibitors and hundreds of press and analysts are expected to attend as well.

In conjunction with this year's show, the results of a new research report -- "Is IPTV Ready for the Prime Time Consumer?" -- will be announced by Heavy Reading, the leading independent market research organization solely focused on service providers and their technology and business needs. The report will uncover consumer attitudes toward video services from telcos, cable companies, and satellite providers in terms of overall quality, value, satisfaction, customer service, and quality of experience. The survey results will provide deep insight into the types of interactive services and applications consumers are most interested in, the prices they will be willing to pay for those services, and the network providers they prefer and believe will be most able to provide those services.

Also new to the show will be the "Relax -- You're Connected" Showcase by The Broadband Forum (formerly the DSL Forum). In a special demonstration area on the show floor, the Broadband Forum and key industry technology leaders and service providers will showcase the full broadband ecosystem. From the latest in access options to new provisioning tools and digital home advancements, the Forum will show how broadband has evolved, and how achieving the optimum quality of customer experience is possible today. This multivendor showcase provides a great opportunity to see who is leading the pack in establishing the global standards for broadband and IPTV.

The TelcoTV show includes the largest TV and IPTV exhibit floor in the United States, with more than 115 vendors already committed, as well as a three-day conference program that is focusing on IPTV, TV, Internet video, mobile video, advertising, and successful content strategies.
