The IPTV market description
More and more cable TV (CATV) providers are offering the “triple-play” services, combining voice, data and video service into one attractive package. End customers receive all their communication needs from one company in one neat, cost-effective package. This is usually done by delivering voice (telephone) services through voice over IP (VoIP), data services (internet) over either DSL or cable infrastructure, all coupled with traditional and new video services such as video-on-demand (VoD), Pay-Per-View (PPV), and interactive TV.
The distinguishing factor in most of these services from traditional TV services is that these services require a bi-directional communications channel, whereas traditional TV is simply broadcast to all users and each end user (a TV set, for example) selects the channel it wants to view out of all channels received. Most operators use IP infrastructure to provide these services. This means that in addition to internet services, both voice and video service are also distributed over IP.
“IPTV Subscribers Projected to grow from 1.9 Million in 2004 to over 25.3 Million in 2008 According to Multimedia Research Group (MRG), the number of IPTV subscribers will grow from 1.9 million in 2004 to 25.3 million in 2008 which is a compound annual growth rate of 79 percent. In their Global Forecast - 2004 to 2008, MRG details the key IPTV industry growth events including:
Plans by SBC and BellSouth to deploy large IPTV networks in the U.S.
Plans by Verizon to use IPTV technology for Video On Demand services to supplement its RF based broadband video service over its Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) access network.
The introduction of Video On Demand IPTV services by China Telecom.
The broad deployment of IPTV services in many countries in Europe.
The continued growth of subscribers by the major established IPTV service providers such as, Free in France, PCCW in Hong Kong, and FastWeb in Italy.”

Who is driving the market?
Traditional telephone companies (Telco’s) are strongly driving this market. While CATV operators can supply the “triple-play” package, the telephone companies cannot. They can offer voice and data, but have no current solution for video services. So what they lack in technology today they are working hard to develop for tomorrow. This is referred to as Telco-TV.
“Traditional telephone companies are seeing a dramatic erosion in revenues from fixed-line voice services due to increased competition from new players such as mobile phone operators and cable TV companies. Changing market dynamics have opened up huge growth opportunities for telephone companies. The telecommunication deregulation has changed the competitive landscape by allowing companies to compete freely for new customers and revenues. And advances in technologies and standards have made delivery of many new services over the existing copper loop a viable economic reality. Video-over-DSL solutions can deliver new revenue-generating services such as Digital TV (DTV), Video-on-Demand, Payper- View Sports, Interactive DTV, and gaming over the ubiquitous telephone connection that exists in almost every consumer household. Video-over-DSL gives incumbent telephone operators their own "triple-play" to combat fierce competition from the cable TV (CATV) and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) operators.”
