Study Finds that TelcoTV Will Hold Its Own Against Internet TV
SAN
FRANCISCO, CA, April 11, 2007– Internet TV has come storming onto the scene
raising the question of how TelcoTV and other traditional TV services are going
to survive. TelecomView’s new report The
Battle for Broadband TV: TelcoTV vs. Internet TV analyzes the impact of
Internet TV on TelcoTV in particular.
“We forecast that people will spend about as much time watching TelcoTV
as they do Internet TV in 2011,” stated Ian Cox, Principal Analyst at
TelecomView. “In addition, our forecasts show that on line and on demand
services will account for nearly all of the growth in film revenues over the
next five years.”
The report includes an
analysis of strengths and weaknesses of TelcoTV and Internet TV and discusses
how TelcoTV operators can take advantage of the creativity of Internet TV. It
discusses the business case for TelcoTV services and gives forecasts for the
amount of time people will watch TelcoTV and Internet TV services. It also
forecasts revenues for films that include theatrical releases, DVD rentals and
sales, video on demand, and Internet download and streaming services. All of
these forecasts are global and by region.
“The TelcoTV operators have a strong position in this market,” stated Bob
Larribeau, Principal Analyst at TelecomView and author of the report. “The
increasing popularity of HDTV and the need to support multiple TVs in the home
give TelcoTV an advantage serving the TV that Internet TV will not be able to
match over the next five years.”
This 80 page report addresses these issues and provides the information
and analysis that TelcoTV providers, Internet TV operators, and system
suppliers need to succeed in this market.
