Press Release Summary: The global IPTV market is growing at an unprecedented rate
worldwide as the number of broadband subscribers is rising, specifically in the
Asia- Pacific region.

Press Release Body: IPTV is a new age technology in which digital television service
is delivered using the Internet Protocol (IP) over network infrastructure. The
global IPTV industry is rapidly expanding with the rising penetration of broadband
in households all over the world, says “Global IPTV: Market Analysis and
Forecast to 2011”, a comprehensive market research report by RNCOS, a leading
market research company.

The report has found that the global IPTV market is currently dominated by Europe
but it is expected that Asia will emerge as a stronger competitor to Europe in
coming years. The number of broadband subscribers will take long jump in the
Asia-Pacific region and it is expected to grow at Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
of 91% during 2006-2011. RNCOS report has thoroughly studied the reasons that are
promoting the IPTV market in the Asia-Pacific region with special focus on the
implications of regulations, penetration of personal computers and quality of
broadband service.

The report has also discovered that only six countries from the Asia-Pacific region,
namely South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and Macao, came in the
world’s top 20 countries, which had good broadband penetration in 2005, as
measured by the International Telecommunication Union. But India and China, two
fastest developing economies, will also be included in these six countries as the
number of broadband subscription is rising in these countries, including rural
areas. In fact, the rural areas of both the countries are offering enormous growth
opportunities for the expansion of broadband. However, the Philippines is also
expected to join the league soon.

Though the IPTV market is expected to grow at a high rate in Asia-Pacific region in
coming years, there are many challenges in the way. The RNCOS report has deeply
studied the forces that can obstruct the expansion rate of IPTV service in the
region.
