IPDR.org President and COO Kelly Anderson commented, "Our leadership is comprised of the best minds in IP, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our organization, particularly as it relates to our groundbreaking work in IPTV."

IPDR.org is pulling together the industry to develop critical specifications for data usage tracking and account settlement for all IPTV services and applications. "Without these specifications, service providers worldwide will not be able to cost effectively build their business models for IPTV, settle with content providers and advertisers, or properly bill for IPTV services," Anderson added.
