    IPTV against Sat tv? What do you think about?

    The IPTV in 2020, more than 160 million subscribers
    RapidTVNews | 30/09/2011

    Internet TV or commonly known as IPTV has good growth prospects. The broadband subscriptions are growing day after day in the European Union. So what says the analyst of the leading broadband, Point Topic, which provides that, in 2020, there will be more than 160 million subscribers to these services, 60 of whom are clients of IP TV services (IPTV ). Of this, 4.4 million will come from Spain, which will be the third country by number of subscribers surpassed only by France (18.1 million) and Germany (10.7) and ahead of countries like the Netherlands (3.4 ), UK (2.8), Belgium (2.3), Sweden (2.2) and Italy (19).
    According to Point Topic, the adoption of IPTV in Europe is still very different in each of the different countries and the successful implementation of this format depends mainly on two factors: the availability of service in terms of existence of physical networks affordable prices. Where both circumstances coincide, there is great demand for IPTV, as in France, where over 50 percent of broadband customers have signed up to IPTV. In this country, IPTV services have spread rapidly among high level users thanks to the already competitive rates and the availability of clear and transparent in line with the actual value that customers receive.
    On the other hand, the study finds that the success of the French IPTV can not be attributed to a single reason, but to a series of conditions that have made the spread of IPTV is much easier and faster than in other countries. France, with free Internet access, has rates much clearer and more transparent for IPTV, which has not only earned the trust of consumers, but allowing them to compare the quality of services they get with the amount they pay . However, in many markets not only the price and availability are significant obstacles, but also the lack of secured television services. Many European countries, especially in the East, have developed their own systems to deliver TV over cable networks. They are often small organizations, local and often non-profit organization that serve a particular community. These small operators, while not as extensive as the major agents, underwriters get a very loyal base.
    In another vein, the European operators and ISPs are trying to eliminate barriers to adoption of IPTV, on many occasions, offering broadband services at a higher price than similar services in addition to integrated TV over IP, to gain market share. Everyone is looking for the consolidation and experts predict the occurrence of various operations of purchase to gain size.
    For Topiv Point, the entry of ****** and Apple in the Internet TV market could be an element of change, as with services like Netflix, Hulu and other offerings OTT providers, could lead to a significant increase competition and further clarity and lower prices for end consumers.

    Will be this the end of satellite television? Is Internet the TV future?

    I think in about 10 years more than half European families will be reached by ultra broadband services, so, at least in the big cities, IPTV over optical fibre will start to replace satellite broadcasting. But the satellite will survive anyway, as it is the only way to reach small towns, isolated houses and the like.
