The panel will look to address the following questions:
-- What are the services that drive early subscriber acquisition and
growth?
-- How have IPTV providers set themselves apart from cable and satellite
rivals?
-- Do subscribers buy on price or service quality?
-- What services have performed best -- are there any surprises?
-- Would IPTV service providers do things differently, given another
chance?
