IPDR.org's COO and President Kelly
Anderson commented, "IPDR.org has taken on the leadership role in
establishing global accounting and settlement standards needed so
that service providers can offer IPTV services. We have brought
together industry experts who have developed a detailed working
charter and a project plan that will allow the industry to move
forward quickly so that service providers can immediately begin
providing IPTV services."
"Our IPTV initiative has confirmed that the gathering of usage data
elements from network components is critical to the success of IPTV,
and that content applications, user behavior, advertising, network
management, and settlement all require network data in their core
applications. In addition, we agree with other industry associations
that the absence of standards will impede implementation, or at the
least, cause costly proprietary standards. With this resolve, we are
excited to present our accelerated work plan at Billing World,"
Anderson said.
There will be no fee to attend this meeting and no requirement to be
an IPDR.org member or Billing World conference attendee. Please visit www.ipdr.org for
