Last week in Cannes, Alcatel took part in the “MIPTV featuring MILIA”, an event for the world’s audiovisual and digital content market. This year, around 12,000 professionals, from across the globe visited the event regrouping everyone involved in content creation, production & distribution across all traditional, digital & Telcos TV platforms.

With 4 speakers in the conferences, a Mobile TV Breakfast Seminar and a booth in the exhibition, Alcatel showed how we are shaping the future of TV with innovative solutions for Mobile TV, Multimedia Streaming and Interactive IPTV that liberate viewers from traditional constraints. Indeed, for many participants in Cannes this year, MIPTV stood for “Mobile & IP TV”!

MIPTV featuring MILIA is an important event for Alcatel to establish new contacts, to forge partnerships and to exchange views of the future television evolution and what possibilities this will bring for advertising.

Around 50 companies visited our booth, including Telstra, Telefonica, Intelsat, BBC, Endemol, Telecom Italia and around 20 companies participated in the Mobile TV Breakfast Seminar. This was a unique occasion for Alcatel to show it is leading the way with innovative new technologies and applications in the world of TV content creation & distribution.
