What does an IPTV provider do?

[Yanckovski1]

An IPTV provider is a company or service that streams television programs and videos over an Internet connection, instead of using cable or satellite networks. Such a provider delivers streaming content, gives users access to online channels, movies, series, and recorded shows, and also maintains the servers and viewing applications.
In essence, the IPTV provider makes it possible for viewers to watch live TV online on any device — whether it’s a TV, computer, or smartphone.
