| '''Open IPTV Forum''' is a non-profit industry body formed in 2007 <ref>http://www.telecoms.com/6048/open-iptv-forum-formed/</ref> with the mission of enabling a new mass market for IPTV by creating a set of unambiguous end-to-end specifications for IPTV services of the future, followed by a certification program for their implementation. It is known by the abbreviation OIPF. <ref name="MitraDr">Mitra, Dr Nilo. Nov 2012 ''Connecting TV to the future". '''The Society of Cable Telecommunication Engineers Broadband Journal'''''. Pg 12.</ref> | |||
| The Forum states <ref name="MitraDr" /> they had three initial goals: | |||
| 1. To "Define end-to-end, interoperable specifications for the delivery of protected and unprotected media content and interactive services over IP networks, both managed and unmanaged" | |||
| 2. To "Establish a certification regime for devices and services to enable a horizontal retail market for compliant devices" | |||
| 3. To "Promote the adoption of its specifications for deployments of IPTV solutions | |||
| In 2012 the Forum claims <ref name="MitraDr" /> that much of the work to achieve their initial goals was complete and published in two solution releases which can be downloaded online <ref>www.oipf.tv/specifications</ref>. | |||
