Moving to the cloud : new vision towards collaborative delivery for open-IPTV

This paper provides a short description and visions about the convergence network architecture for an Open-IPTV model based Cloud. Also, it counts the benefits which derived from adoption of this architecture to mobility and security issues. With the new Open-IPTV model, the migration towards convergence networks between different Content Providers (CP) infrastructures becomes evident. This adaptation leads us to the Cloud Computing Revolution for CPs interconnections. The traditional mobility issues will be eliminated under the new umbrella conditions for the collaboration between the CPs. Moreover, the general management methodology will add value to the overall control between those providers. It's the first step from a technical perspective, and we consider it to help in resources optimization regardless of our exact choice of any content provider. This optimization will include the two cost relations that are very important to all providers: Capital expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational expenditure (OPEX)
