As seen at last week's IPTV World Forum, the IPTV marketplace is a sort of polyglot gathering. The multiple languages reflect not only diverse countries of origin, but also various dialects of technology.
The lineup of winners of the event's 10 awards reflects the diversity and flexibility of this nascent industry's arms vendors. Harmonic's success in the "cable IPTV" category was discussed separately, but they pulled in another win, too. Here's the entire list of awards:
