Abstract
This report provides analysis and forecasts on the worldwide IPTV market. It
specifically covers IPTV deployments in 20 nations and profiles nearly 60
providers. It also examines key IPTV technology, including middleware,
applications software, and conditional access providers. The report also
provides worldwide forecasts for subscribers and set-top box shipments through
2011.
“On a global scale, the IPTV experience is going to provide
widely-varying levels of success and challenges,” said Kurt Scherf,
Parks Associates' vice president and principal analyst. “Market forces
are pushing European incumbents to enter nontraditional markets. Asian markets
have, in many cases, the necessary infrastructure to support incredible
television experiences, but providers may struggle to differentiate their
offerings from competitors. Finally, the North American model for telcos is
going to have to shift very quickly from a defensive to an offensive posture
for Tier 1 providers to establish a foothold and actually build revenue per
subscriber.”
