In their Global Forecast - 2007 to 2011, MRG details the key IPTV industry growth events including: Europe continues to be the biggest market for IPTV, with France easily leading the growth spurt through IPTV operators Free, Orange France Telecom and Neuf Cegetel. Also driving the market's successful growth in the past 6 months has been fast growth in other parts of Europe, especially Belgium, Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe. In Asia, growth has been especially high in China, Japan, and Hong Kong. In North America, growth has been significant in Canada and the United States, especially from Verizon and the Independent Operating Companies
(IOCs). |
