Leading Chinese telecommunications network provider Huawei is planning to tap the relatively unexplored Indian market for its IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) products.

"The potential of IPTV products in India is immense," said director (Integrated Marketing Communications) of Huawei Meddy Lu. "India has not grown very fast in terms of IPTV connectivity but there is a huge requirement for these products," she said. However, she did not elaborate on the amount of investment the company plans.

The proposed move assumes significance in the wake of broadcast regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) announcement earlier this week that a draft paper on IPTV services in India is expected to be ready within a month.
