Overview
What is convincing companies to add Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) to their product portfolio?
Television has evolved over the years as picture and sound quality have improved, content options have grown and new delivery technologies have been invented. But this slow evolution will soon give way to a revolution brought on by the advent of IPTV.
IPTV technology is changing how people consume content and has the potential to change the business proposition for every company working in the communications and data industry today.
While industry pundits continue to questions the business case underlying IPTV as a stand alone operation, the case for IPTV becomes clearer once its impact on the overall business is examined. With access line counts dropping, and broadband and wireless growth slowing, telcos are increasingly looking to video services to prevent further decreases in revenue.
BIA Financial Network’s report “Maximizing Returns on IPTV” examines the financial incentives, risks and investment costs for companies considering advanced broadband technologies to an increasingly larger market of high-speed Internet homes.
