Internet Protocol Television(IPTV) services, including Video-on-Demand (VoD), Linear TV and correspondinginteractive TV services are already part of nearly all current Internet service offe-rings. Due to consumers’ rising demands for Internet video portals like YouTube,which are not necessarily part of operators’ edge networks, the entire Internet iscurrently heading towards an end-to-end media delivery platform.Current IPTV offerings provide services already known from Digital TV. In ad-dition to Linear TV and Video on Demand, a certain amount of interactivity usingthe IP back-channel is provided. In contrast to those, innovative services like SocialNetworking come from the Internet.
