Broadband and IP-Based Television Provides Significant Opportunities for Cable, Telecoms and Media Companies, According to IBB Consulting's Dr. Shah

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Interactive Broadband Consulting Group, LLC (IBB), a leading consulting firm advising top management in the broadband-related sectors of cable, mobile, technology and digital media, announced today that Dr. Imran Shah, Managing Partner will join the panel titled "Television 2.0: Cable, Telco, Satellite & Broadband Redefine the Future of Entertainment and Communications" today at the McGraw-Hill Media Summit in New York.

"With US Broadband penetration crossing 40MM Households in 2005, Broadband and IP-based distribution has become a mainstream medium for video. By drawing parallels to the exponential growth of cable Network Programming as multi-channel distribution grew, it is clear that this new medium is about to experience exponential growth in content providers," said Dr. Shah. "This provides significant opportunities for both Media companies, as well as facilities-based content distributors, such as Cable companies and Telcos."

"Cable companies and Telcos can add a lot of value in IP-based video distribution by providing Quality of Service (QoS), Customer Service and Content packaging. At the same time, Media companies have the opportunity to exploit their content in multiple platforms such as: Linear Video, Video-on-Demand, IPTV, Broadband-TV, Mobile, PDA etc.," added Dr. Shah. "Media companies must prepare themselves to leverage this opportunity by making their content and distribution rights available, as well as creating Rights Management and Content Distribution platforms that are better suited for digital exploitation."

At the same conference, Shahid Khan, Partner, IBB, will join the panel titled "Internet Video, Advertising & Marketing: The Next Generation of Consumer Reach" on February 9, which will examine the trends, challenges and opportunities in Broadband Video-based advertising.
