✦ Synopsis
telecommunication companies to offer data services including web browsing or email to their customers, are now being upgraded to also offer video services (referred to as Internet Protocol TV [IPTV] over DSL) to these customers. Because of their easy access to a return channel and because individual customers are easily addressed, these DSL networks have an advantage over traditional networks to offer the new emerging video services. However, since they were designed to support data services, they may need special measures to offer the linear programming TV service at the same quality of (evolutions of) traditional networks.
