Intellon Corporation, a provider of standards-based powerline communications (PLC) integrated circuits (ICs), announced that 12 service providers in Europe and Asia are now using Intellon's HomePlug ICs for in-home IPTV distribution. Operators now deploying Intellon's ICs for IPTV include 1 & 1, Chung Hwa Telecom, Club Internet, France Telecom, Free, Hanaro Telecom, neuf cegetel, PCCW, Simmin, Tele2, Telecom Italia France, and TPSA.
As with any pay television service, IPTV has to be carrier grade in terms of performance. Service providers in Europe and Asia typically began installing IPTV service by running new Ethernet cable to distribute the broadcast TV and video-on-demand content from the residential gateways to the IP set-top boxes near the customers' TVs. Before deploying Intellon's solution, operators were consistently reporting that 10 percent to 30 percent of their customers were canceling the newly ordered IPTV service when new Ethernet wiring was required for the installation.
