Report Highlights
The proliferation of IPTV services has opened up a new market for DRM solution
providers; while the potential for new entrants to compete with traditional CA

different requirements and expectations of IPTV operators provides significant
short-term opportunities.
Cable and satellite operators will need to provide their subscribers with
greater content flexibility in order to meet the challenge from emerging IPTV
providers. However, while the ability to transfer content between devices is
likely to prove highly appealing to consumers, content owners are
understandably keen to protect their assets.
