DAVE.TV Introduces IPTV to Vietnam

January 1st, 2005-- DAVE.TV, a global IPTV digital entertainment distribution network, today announced the sale of its first Country Platform License to OV.TECH and the establishment of DAVE.TV Vietnam at the Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas.

DAVE.TV (Distributed Audio Video Entertainment Television) is a Cross Platform Digital Delivery Ecosystem that consolidates channels of video entertainment from sources around the world into a comprehensive service that delivers them to the PC, TV, portable and mobile devices. The company develops IPTV platforms for service providers such as Telcos, CLECs, MSOs and ISPs. 

With a population of approximately 83 million with about 9.2 million Internet users, Vietnam is one of the hottest emerging economies in the world. Because cable infrastructure has been virtually non-existent, TV has been mostly relegated to terrestrial off-the-air distribution methods. With the upgrading of IP-based infrastructure such as Internet broadband, phone and wireless infrastructure, IPTV is positioned as the perfect solution to become Vietnam's next generation TV service.

In addition, it is estimated that over 3.5 million Vietnamese live abroad including about 1.5 million in the United States with remittances back to the home land reaching US$2.77 Billion in 2005. This provides for a huge market and demand for Vietnamese content abroad. Since DAVE.TV's IPTV service represents "Content Without Borders," these Vietnamese living abroad will now be able to access and purchase live and stored Vietnamese content from anywhere in the world.
