Growth of IPTV: Is It Happening in Asia/Pacific?

This IDC study provides an overview of the TV over broadband market and profiles of the leading service providers offering this service in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. This study covers the six key markets tracked by IDC Asia/Pacific's Consumer Devices and Services research: Australia, Hong Kong, Korea, the People's Republic of China (PRC), Singapore, Taiwan, and the rest of Asia/Pacific (ROAP).

"The market for TV over broadband services in APEJ is still in its early stages of commercial deployment with strong growth projected well into 2009," says Claudio Checchia, research manager, Consumer Devices and Services. "The arrival of pay-TV over broadband is likely to alter the current cable and satellite pay-TV status quo. With compelling content offered at competitive prices, we can easily expect more services rolled out to meet rising demand for TV over broadband services across the region."
