Opera Software, a Norwegian firm known for its cross-platform web browser, has joined the Open IPTV Forum, a multi-industry organization dedicated to creating end-to-end open specifications for IPTV services and generating mass market IPTV appeal.
“The Open IPTV Forum is an important group in today’s marketplace. Currently no standards exist for this market, resulting in diverse implementations that not only hinder growth but may serve as a risk for stakeholders,” commented the Open IPTV Forum’s Steering Group Chairman, Yun Chao Hu. “With Opera Software now on board, we now have the opportunity to harness Opera’s Web technology to help us meet our end goal of specifying a solution that will bring IPTV services to the masses.”
The Open IPTV Forum now boasts a total of 27 members, including its founders, Ericsson, FT Group, Nokia Siemens, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sony, and Telecom Italia.
