The IPTV World Forum Selects Simon Woodward to Speak on IPTV and the Connected Home

Cambridge, 1 March 2007

ANT plc (AIM: ANTP), the leading provider of digital TV client and consumer electronic solutions and services, announced today that CEO Simon Woodward is to speak at the 2007 IPTV World Forum, taking place 5 - 7 March 2007 at Olympia, London.

The consumer mantra was first "what you want, when you want it." IPTV is now leading the march to consumer freedom with "where you want it" and, increasingly, "where you want it from" becoming key drivers. At the 2007 IPTV World Forum, Woodward will discuss what is fueling this consumer revolution in the presentation, 'IPTV and the Connected Home', scheduled for 2 p.m. on day two of the show, 6 March.

In an age when consumers have access to increasing amounts of content across a growing number of media devices, there is a strong demand to watch and hear anything, anywhere. Today consumers want to access all their media content across a wide range of devices in a consistent manner with the ability to share their content with others. Many companies are facing the same problems of trying to find a way to deliver any media, anywhere, usable on any device.

In this presentation, ANT will address the challenges that face companies in the whole-home entertainment industry including:

• Interoperability

• User Interface Complexity

• Application development & deployment

• Multiple services

• Moving content between devices & rooms

• Hardware independence

• True personalisation

ANT will also exhibit at the IPTV World Forum. Visitors to stand 138 will see ANT Galio running on Scientific Atlanta set-top boxes. Galio is one of three products shortlisted for the IPTV World Series best IPTV platform management/middleware/application solution award to be presented at the IPTV World Forum.
