As the lines continue to blur between what used to be clear-cut
boundaries separating cable companies, telephone companies,
Internet service providers -- carriers of all types look for the
best way to seamlessly integrate their legacy and emerging
services. Many in the industry are betting on IPTV to level the
playing field among the broad array of competitors from small
regional telcos to traditional media giants. Broadwing
Communications, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of Broadwing
Corporation (NASDAQ:BWNG), is one of the companies leading this
effort with next-generation media services that offer content
providers flexible multicasting capabilities, Ethernet or ASI
delivery options, and scalable growth. "Traditional telecom
companies and solidly entrenched cable companies are realizing that
they must move beyond traditional linear programming," said Del
Bothof, vice president and general manager of Broadwing's media
services group. "Broadwing makes emerging non-linear services like
personalized television and interactive programming commercially
feasible by enabling more efficient distribution of media content
to multiple locations." Internet Protocol-based television services
(IPTV) offer an attractive way for new entrants in the category to
fast-forward to the "now" technologies, as well as those on the
horizon. As the IPTV revolution takes off, content owners,
distributors and service providers are looking for a scalable,
cost-effective, and reliable means to distribute next-generation
IPTV content such as high-definition, interactive and even
personalized programming. Broadwing's real-time Dynamic synchronous
Transfer Mode (DTM) Multicast solution employs the
point-to-multipoint efficiency of satellite, the asymmetrical
bandwidth of ATM, the scalability of IP, and the security and
Quality of Service (QoS) and capacity of fiber transport. Service
providers gain price and performance benefits as a dynamic
multicast solution efficiently uses network resources through this
distribution method. "DTM-enabled forward distribution clearly
fills an important market need as IPTV emerges as a more mainstream
service," said Del Bothof, vice president and general manager of
Broadwing's media services group. "Our technology provides all of
the positives and none of the negatives of legacy
forward-distribution technologies." A leader in delivering the
promise of IPTV, Broadwing announced last year the expansion of its
Media Services Network to more than 40 U.S. markets, giving the
company the largest DTM network in the world. This step allowed the
company to meet the increasing demand for media services driven in
part by Broadwing's growing transport of professional sports
broadcasts via alliances with Intelsat and HTN. About Broadwing
