Synopsis
Europe and Asia have had the most dynamic IPTV markets over the past few years, but recently in the USA the telcos’ IPTV plans, on the back of their fibre deployments, have started to gather significant momentum. However on the whole, around the world, customers continue to be more interested in the web based broadband video applications rather than IP based TV. The economic downturn may also deter telcos from expanding their IPTV coverage over the next couple of years and subscriber growth could be curbed as consumers’ reign in their spending on luxury services. This report includes BuddeComm’s analysis of the IPTV market, including VoD in relation to TV. The report includes case studies of key markets, statistics and forecasts.
