Abstract
Last year, telcos were issuing many requests for proposal to equipment and software vendors as
they investigated what was available for Telco TV services. They ran lab trials and limited market
trials. In 2005, many of these telcos have commercially launched services or announced their plans
to launch in 2006. The pace is unprecedented in TelcoTV.
The increasing number of deployments, the details of which are provided in the report, will drive
the growth of the homes served by Telco TV offerings. Telcos who deployed earlier are also expanding
the reach of their services. Telco customers are taking note of the new services and signing up. We
expect worldwide TelcoTV subscribers will reach 32 million in 2009.
The report provides five-year subscriber, homes served, annual ARPU, and annual service revenue
forecasts for the TelcoTV market. Additionally, equipment and software vendor revenue for broadcast
TV content processing, on demand content processing, middleware, and content security are provided
from 2004 to 2009.
