While TM Forum was formed to serve the telecom sector – it is far more than just another telecom standards body. TM Forum is the key link in the converging global communications industry value chain. Its work is helping to pull together telecom, cable, internet and media through its practical, market-focused frameworks and standards.
The overlap continues to grow as more cable operators enter the voice and broadband access markets and telecom operators enter the IPTV market. The Forum’s activities are not just aimed at making technologies talk to each other but are designed to enable real business and technology alignment: between equipment manufacturers, software vendors and network operators; between service providers content providers and device manufacturers.
We're a 'must access' resource for cable operators who are operating in a broader and more competitive business world. | |
