SupportSoft, Inc. will discuss at this week's Broadband World Forum the importance of driving business growth through the introduction of new, high value services such as IPTV. SupportSoft's James Morehead will host an interactive session entitled, "IPTV: Turn the Prospect of High Churn into High Earn," featuring industry leaders from FASTWEB, Cisco, Microsoft TV and Belgacom.
Value-added services such as IPTV and VoIP, combined with high speed data, offer significant, new revenue potential for service providers. Retaining customers by creating the best possible experience for any triple play service they may choose will be critical to success. The panel led by Mr. Morehead will show how IPTV holds the potential to provide consumers with even more entertainment value than they receive through traditional TV service. And, for service providers, that value begins with successful, automated installation of an IPTV connection and ongoing customer support for problem resolution.
A recent whitepaper published by SupportSoft entitled, "IPTV: The Clear Picture," outlines the key challenges and opportunities for profitably delivering IPTV. To receive a copy of the whitepaper, please register at
