Internet Protocol Television is a “potentially
multi-billion dollar industry in the very near term”,
according to report from the New Millennium Research
Council.
The growth will come not from the popularity of YouTube.com,
which features amateur videos, or the free downloads
of the hit series “Lost”, but from demand
for more customized programming from professional organizations
of allied individuals including senior citizens, hobbyists
and trade association members, the report predicts.
Internet Protocol Television is an all-encompassing
term that covers many different forms of video programming
and services. Because the underlying technologies are
Internet-based, IPTV can be transmitted over broadband
networks and accessed by consumers through a number of
different devices.
IPTV allows consumers to customize their video programming
experience, and empowers organizations of all types to
directly and inexpensively access new and/or targeted
audiences, according to “The State of IPTV 2006:
The Advent of Personalized Programming.”
“With the expansion of broadband access and the
growth of computing and video production equipment, industry
analysts believe IPTV is realizing its potential as a
viable programming platform that can compete with cable,
satellite and other traditional video mediums ... IPTV
is also seen by providers and industry watchers as a
gateway for new content providers,” according to
the report.
Key report findings include:
Growth is expected
at 32 percent annually for the 5 years, according
to Insight Research Corporation
Digital convergences
of services and products could generate $55 billion
for IPTV through 2010
