Summary
 Telco TV continues to grow as new players around the world get on the bandwagon and existing players increase their footprint, penetration, content, and range of services. This report discusses key players including AT&T, Verizon, France Telecom, Telefonica, Deutsche Telecom, and China Telecom as well as other incumbent and emerging operators around the world.
 
 While triple play has always been the name of the game, increasingly quadruple- as well as double- and single-play offerings are coming on to the scene. Catch-up TV has gained tremendous popularity around the world. And convergence applications are emerging as Microsoft’s Mediaroom platform gains traction.
 
 Content is at the same time going more international, ethnic, and local. This year saw a clear trend toward content geared toward immigrant population, especially in Western Europe. In small towns in North America, there are interesting experiments that revolve around producing very local content. Spreading content across as many platforms as possible is motivating players to introduce PC and mobile phone-based video offerings that complement their telco TV offerings.
 
 This report discusses where telco TV services are growing, who is providing telco TV, how successful they have been to date, and what types of services are being offered. Worldwide five-year forecasts for subscribers and subscription revenues based on ARPU are included.

Summary
 The cable industry has dominated the pay-TV market since the early nineties but is now facing competition from DTH and IPTV. DTH seems to be growing strong in India and is likely to capture 24.6% of the total pay-TV subscriber base by 2012, while 11.1% of subscribers will be covered by cable-CAS. Overall growth of cable subscribers, including cable-CAS and cable-non CAS, during the forecasted period is slated to be a mere 0.51% CAGR. The growth of IPTV is likely to remain slow during the forecasted period, owing to lower broadband penetration in the country.
 
 This report delves into the total pay-TV subscriber base by different technologies, i.e., cable, DTH, and IPTV. It also highlights the drivers and challenges for these technologies, the current state of broadband in India, and the potential for video-on-demand in India.

Summary
 There is a fragmentation of standards in mobile TV broadcasting that appears here to stay. DVB-H, ATSC-M/H, CMMB, ISDB-T, DVB-SH, T-DMB, and MediaFLO are all being used or under development today.
 
 The most popular mobile TV broadcast services are those that are offered without a subscription, as in Japan and South Korea. However, mobile TV broadcast services are viewed by many as a way to generate revenue, so many of the mobile TV broadcast services will be subscription based.
 
 Operators in multiple countries in both Europe and Asia are expected to launch mobile TV broadcast services in 2008, driving the subscriber increases.
