/noticias.info/ Paris, April 27, 2005 –Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and
NYSE: ALA) today announced the launch of its IPTV (Internet Protocal-based

is managed by, and located inside the premises of, Alcatel Shanghai
Bell, Alcatel's flagship company in China.
With the establishment of the Center, Alcatel will be more strongly

become increasingly sophisticated, triple play is seeing huge growth
potential, especially in China," said Michel Rahier, in charge of

helped more than 20 telecom operators deliver IPTV services. Our
end-to-end solution, strong integration capability and extensive
experience make us an ideal partner in the triple play business."
