The Coming IPTV Boom
Telephony Online quotes a costly report from In-Stat that says "telecom providers around the world will capture about 32 million video users by the end of 2009."
That number is astonishing to me. Perhaps it is achievable since it does see most of the growth coming from Asia. "In fact, by 2009, Asian carriers will account for more than half of the 32 million," said michelle Abraham, In-Stat analyst.
"In the U.S., large carriers such as Verizon and SBC will generate a healthy number of subscribers, but franchise regulations or the lack thereof will determine the pace at which they grow."
The vendor segment is guaranteed to grow. According to the report, broadcast TV content processing, on-demand content processing, content security, and middleware revenues for telco TV will surpass $600 million in 2009.
