Parks Associates anticipates over 100mn IPTV households globally by 2013

US research firm Parks Associates is predicting that there will be in excess of 100mn households worldwide subscribing to IPTV services by 2013, giving a compound annual growth rate of approximately 38%, according to the company. Kurt Scherf, Principal Analyst at Parks Associates, commented: "Europe will have over 38 million households with telco IPTV services by 2013, but the market will be characterised not by its homogeneity but by differences in programming, interactive applications, and value-added features." The firm released the forecasts as part of the build-up to its CONNECTIONS Europe Summit event, taking place in France later this month.
