Western Europe Still Largest Broadband Market; IPTV Grows in Eastern Europe
Today the Broadband Forum announced its latest broadband and IPTV statistics, with data prepared by Point Topic. No real surprises—global broadband grew by 16.6 million subscribers in 1Q 2009, while IPTV subscription worldwide is now nearing 24 million, with most of the growth in Eastern Europe and North America. The IPTV growth in Eastern Europe is down to significant pushes in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Russia. Clearly, while OTT video is giving IPTV a run for its money, it’s still a very competitive space
Here’s the data:
