Alcatel-Lucent to Develop MyView

Alcatel-Lucent stated that it plans to continue development of the MyView middleware package that Lucent acquired from Telefonica of Spain last year. This is in addition to its continued support of the Microsoft IPTV Edition software.

MyView is a good backup software strategy for Alcatel-Lucnet. It would be difficult for Alcatel-Lucent to revive the OMP middleware product that it backed off from when it announced its partnership with Microsoft two years ago. MyView supports 300,000 IPTV subscribers with Telefonica's South American subsidiaries as they introduce IPTV services. Who know, if the Microsoft package does not sort itself out soon, MyView is waiting in the wings.
