“Lessons Learned About Installing Home Networks for triple-play IPTV Services” was held Monday, April 14, from 9-9:30 a.m., in LVCC N234-236. Richard Nesin, president of HomePNA, and Roger Vaughn, product manager of AFL Telecommunications, were present.

As commercial IPTV services and telco TV move into the mainstream, attention is focusing on the real issues of deployment. These issues, being faced for the first time by a rapidly growing number of service providers, include both the cost and time required for equipment installation and customer training as well as the technical support costs for deployed systems. A number of commercial tools are available and practices are being developed to address these real and timely needs cost-effectively while meeting customers’ high Quality of Experience (QoE) expectations for the TV service.
