IP Video Service Revenue In Asia Pacific To
Grow 8% Per Year
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., October 5, 2005 Although still in the early
stages of deployment, IP video services in Asia Pacific are
ramping up and will grow by nearly 80% annually through 2010,
reports In-Stat (
http://www.in-stat.com).
In-Stat forecasts that by 2010 this market’s revenue will reach
US$4.2 billion. China, Japan, India, and South Korea will
account for the majority of regional growth, the high-tech
market research firm says.
"Increasing broadband penetration gives telcos the opportunity
to leverage their investment in broadband networks while
broadening their service offerings," says Bryan Wang, In-Stat
analyst. "But deployment, launch, and marketing strategy
specifics are largely still on the drawing board for quite a few
carriers."
A recent report by In-Stat found the following:
- In deregulated markets like Japan and South Korea, telecom
companies can offer IPTV and VOD services freely, while in
China, incumbent carriers have yet to obtain IPTV licenses to
provide such value-added video offerings.
- "Triple play" strategies encompassing voice, video, and data
offerings will soon be the norm for most communication providers
in Asia Pacific.
- The major IP-based video service providers leading the market
in the region are expected to include Yahoo!BB, Korea Telecom,
Chunghwa Telecom, PCCW, China Telecom, China Netcom, SingTel,
and Atlas Interactive India.
