Abstract
This report tracks the top IPTV vendors in 24 sub-sectors that are leading the
IPTV market globally and in four regions worldwide based on their deployments
and installed base in over 674 IPTV Service Providers (SPs) worldwide. It also
identifies which companies are positioned for strong growth. It ranks and
evaluates the position of companies that provide Access Systems, Video
Headends, Video-On-Demand servers, Set-top Boxes, Content Protection, and
Middleware.
It also anticipates upside growth potential of each of the top 25-30 vendors
in the industry, based on the twenty-five largest and fastest-growing Service
Providers in four global regions in which these vendors have deployed products.
In the midst of global economic turmoil brought on by mismanaged mortgage
banks, a rare glimpse of optimism is reflected by the continued expansion of
the global IPTV industry as shown by the specific company growth as documented
in this new IPTV Market Leaders Report. By using a deeper ranking
system than before, the report gives separate regional rankings to each
company by product category, based on actual and verified numbers of
subscribers and video channels supported by each company' s product(s).
