The IPTV revolution will surge - expert Dr William Cooper

How will IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) be different from the broadband "value-added" services we associate today with a computer? What lessons does the United Kingdom - an early adopter of IPTV - have for the rest of the world?

[Pictured Centre] Dr William Cooper (the PhD is in Communications) is an expert on the convergence of interactive media. As Head of Interactive for BBC Broadcast, he was responsible for the operational delivery of the BBC's online and interactive television services. At the BBC he oversaw the exponential growth of online services and the launch of interactive services on satellite, terrestrial and cable television. He joined the BBC as Head of Online Operations from the Press Association, where he was responsible for taking traditional newswire systems onto the web with the launch of online syndication services for news, features, photos and press releases. There he also led the development of Ananova, the world's first virtual newscaster. The Ananova division was subsequently acquired by the mobile telecommunications company Orange for £95 million.

In this interview he talks in detail about the qualities, technology and business model of IPTV, touching on some of the issues he explored in the report informitv.com recently published about it.
