Service providers now rolling out IPTV services probably would not agree with the notion that they are making it up as they go along, since that would be an insult to the strategists and technicians who have put hours upon years into the ongoing transformation of telcos into video providers. Yet when you consider how the industry is approaching quality of service for IPTV, it's difficult to come away with any other impression, at least at first glance.

But convergence of the operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) is as critical as the access networks themselves...
