TV is changing forever and Ericsson Mediaroom is leading the
revolution. Today's TV experience exceeds the boundaries of the
traditional living room screen and reaches a variety of personal and
portable devices. Smart phones and tablets have become integral to
watching TV and video, and in the near future other more innovative
devices will participate in the ecosystem. Similarly, the business and
licensing boundaries that segregated the worlds of linear television
from the Internet are being abated, offering consumers a much wider set
of choices and possibilities. Finally, consumers are learning how to
find relevant content through powerful semantic tools and natural
interactions. As leader of the IPTV market, Ericsson Mediaroom is
building the future of TV and video today. Are you ready to join us?
