Prototyping Interactive and Personalized IPTV-Services on Top of Open IMS Infrastructures

In this paper a proof of concept infrastructure for the delivery of standardized IMS-based IPTV services driven by the IPTV enabled Open IMS Playground at Fraunhofer FOKUS will be presented. The so called Media Interoperability Lab represents one of the world's first real world test beds for these kind of services. This has been achieved by actively guiding the different SDOs work with a focus on ETSI TISPAN. On top of this framework different personalized and interactive services have been implemented to show the predominance and advantages of IMS-based IPTV solutions compared to other mainly black box approaches.
