Today TelcoTV09 Gathers Scores of Industry Pundits to Examine The Industry's Most Cutting-Edge Developments and Opportunities

ORLANDO, Florida, November 10 - WHEN: Tuesday November 10 through Thursday November 12, 2009

WHERE: Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida

WHAT: TelcoTV is the telecom industry's premier event for the exploration
of a comprehensive entertainment convergence strategy. Like no other event,
TelcoTV brings together service providers of all sizes, with a common
interest in transforming their organizations into entertainment powerhouses.
The TelcoTV exhibit hall is packed with hundreds of vendors showcasing
technical solutions and cutting-edge content to help telcos compete against
cable and satellite.

WHY: As the challenges faced by traditional print and broadcast media put
increasing pressure on broadband television to point the way forward to an
exploding population of wired homes, schools, workplaces, and public
buildings, TelcoTV has established itself as the No. 1 meeting place for the
many stakeholders embracing this revolution - most notably service providers.
TelcoTV 2009 provides a holistic view of entertainment convergence,
encompassing MobileTV, NetVideo, IPTV, and hybrid solutions.

WHO: Top names from AT&T, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., and Nokia
Siemens Networks will be among the keynote speakers at this year's TelcoTV
conference and Expo (

In addition, based on research conducted by Heavy Reading presented at
last years TelcoTV conference, consumers rated service quality as the No. 1
reason consumers left their incumbent provider (

beating out cost and programming. The same is true of this year's Heavy
Reading Research survey (

), with results being revealed by the study's author, Aditya
