Europe

Adoption of digital TV (DTV) is growing more rapidly than ever in Western Europe, driven by the success of new delivery platforms such as Digital Terrestrial (DTT) broadcasting and IP-based TV from telcos and other providers. Strategy Analytics estimated4 that the number of households using some form of digital TV in Western Europe was 75 million in 2006, up from 56 million at the end of 2005. Strategy Analytics forecasts that by 2010, DTV will be used by almost 127 million households in the region – close to 77 percent of all TV homes. The growth of DTT and IPTV threatens cable and satellite operators who have historically dominated pay TV in Europe and other regions. These new platforms will also spur millions of consumers to access TV programming from multiple sources, especially in countries where hybrid services combining free DTT channels with broadband-delivered IPTV content are being launched.

According to Global IPTV Forecasts made by MRG (Multimedia Research Group, Inc.), Europe continues to be the biggest market for IPTV, with France significantly leading the growth projections through its principal telcos. The number of IPTV subscribers in Europe is forecasted to grow from approximately 6.4 million in 2007 to 36.4 million in 2012, a compound annual growth rate of 42 percent. At present, a large majority of all new IPTV platforms include adult entertainment in their VOD offering and we have contracted with operators covering more than 70% of European IPTV subscribers.
