Abstract

This paper concentrates on consumer devices and digital content consumption at home. We approach the topic from the perspective of our network operator partner and we ask how this operator can improve its content distribution from the current IPTV service. We propose a consumer device grid that is an integral part of the operator's IP network. Our proposal results in savings in the operator's data centers and in the home whilst offering more business opportunities for the operator and third party content providers.
