Upper Side's TVoDSL conference and exhibition will take place for the third year in Paris next January 24 to 27, 2006. The conference draws major manufacturing, economic, and regulatory players. Topics to be discussed include IPTV, video transport standards, set-top-boxes, home networks, middleware, access networks, and compression tools. Additionally, the conference features two technical tutorials: "Triple Play Service Delivery Architecture Technical Issues" and "IPTV Platforms and Video Systems."
The Conference

Each year, France Telecom, Telefonica, Video Networks and other new major players offer up their experience from service trials and implementations.

The equipment vendors will address all the technical problems tied to setting up TVoDSL services: standardization, access network architectures, compression tools, home networks and middleware.

Indeed the Conference owes much its success to the technical expertise of the speakers who give first-rate presentations throughout the four-day event. These high quality speeches have been carefully reviewed and selected by the members of the scientific committee: Paul Bristow, Philips Consumer Electronics; François-Xavier Coudoux, University of Valenciennes; Dominique Delisle, France Telecom R&D; Franc Kozamernik, European Broadcasting Union; Francesca Mari, e.bisMedia; Ralf Schaefer, Thomson Research & Innovation; Eric Theron, Thomson.
