Abstract

Interactive video services for consumers, delivered to residences via broadband networks and standard TV´s, could be offered over the next several years. Such services include movie on demand, video telephony, interactive television, home shopping, computer games, etc. Economics dictate that a common infrastructure be deployed that can support all the services envisioned today, with future expandability. This paper presents a comprehensive large-scale end-to-end services platform architecture meeting these requirements and describes the field trials of this system scheduled to begin in 1994
