BBC’s iPlayer shortlisted for IPTV award

The IPTV market will once again celebrate the best in the business with the IPTV World Series Awards 2009.

These awards have been created in order to recognise those businesses within the industry which have excelled during the past twelve months.

In the section headed the Best On-Demand Technology for IPTV, the BBC’s iPlayer has been shortlisted for the award.

It is clearly no forgone conclusion that the iPlayer will win the category, but it is acknowledgement of a very successful launch and first year for the service.

The awards will be presented at a gala evening for the opening of the IPTV World Forum.

This event will be the largest IPTV event in the world and will be held on Wednesday 25th March 2009 at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London.
