IPTV Key to UTStarcom's Turnaround

UTStarcom stated that its RollingStream end-to-end IPTV system is a key element in its strategy for returning to profitability. The company stated that many of its IPTV deployments in China are undergoing expansion. The company estimates that its IPTV platform is serving an estimated 310,000 subscribers currently. UTStarcom is also beginning to win IPTV business in India.

UTStarcom is currently the only IPTV system being used by China Telecom, including its Shanghai Telecom subsidiary. It shares the business at China Netcom with ZTE. IPTV growth in China will be very large, which puts the company in a good position in the future.
