Why Financing for IPTV Systems Integration

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) systems integration projects are evolving at rural telephone companies who seek to offer a proprietary broadcast experience to local subscribers who currently have limited access to traditional broadcasting. IPTV systems integration financing may involve financing all equipment, "head end" technology, set top boxes, middle ware, transceiver and transmitter technology, signal distribution, electronic test, delivery, installation, set up, warranty and services. In essense this type of financing encompasses all technology and soft costs related to the delivery of IPTV programing.

The reason tht IPTV Systems Integration financing makes sense for many telco's is that it offers a means to spread the cost of technology with a monthly expense (payment) that aligns with the gradual growth of subscribers and the corresponding revenues that follow the subscriber base. Essentially financing allows the telco to "grow into" his revenue model.
