Internet Protocol Television or IPTV is the wave of the future. It allows people to stream high-definition video onto a television set through their set-top box in place of using a cable, satellite, or phone wire. With all your content streamed on IPTV via high-speed internet, you will reach a new audience which may many of internet businesses have ignored. You can even reach people through computers, tablets, and mobile devices!

## What is IPTV?

web_nb_1 (1).png IPTV is a service that provides television programming and other video content using the Transmission Control Protocol or Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, as opposed to broadcast TV, cable TV, or satellite signals. An IPTV service, typically distributed by a service provider, delivers live TV programs or on-demand video content via IP networks.

An IPTV system can be used to make video content available on a private network in a venture, although such applications are far very less common than subscriber-based models due to the issues, network latency, and scaling issues.

IPTV providers include a vast range of companies from very large network operators, like Verizon with its FiOS video services, and other major companies, such as Netflix, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, to Sony, which also offers video streaming services via smart TVs and internet-enabled devices, and AT&T. Providers of IPTV have also included a wide variety of smaller or calling companies sometimes experts in certain types of content delivered over a broadband IP connection.
