CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit to address Telco/IPTV
Growth in Europe Europe leads with nearly 60% of telco/IPTV
households worldwide; Parks Associates calculates service growth at 200%
for 2007
Dallas, Texas, April 11, 2008 -
CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit
will address the new challenges to service providers in attracting and
retaining customers in today’s hyper-competitive worldwide market, as
shown in the detailed event agenda released today by Parks Associates
and CEA®.
CONNECTIONS™
Europe Summit Series is a pan-European event series featuring topics
and data critical for strategists and executives active in the digital
living space. The first event will be May 19 in Nice, France, in
cooperation with the TM Management Forum.
According to TV
Services in Europe: Update and Outlook, a free white paper
available on the CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit website, the number of
households worldwide using telco/IPTV services grew from 4.7 million in
2006 to more than 14 million in 2007. Europe – with more than eight
million households – experienced a 250% growth rate between 2006 and
2007.
“Telco/IPTV services provide European operators with a
critical toehold in this market,” said Kurt Scherf, vice president,
principal analyst, Parks Associates. “However, IPTV is a small part of a
crowded market of terrestrial, satellite, and cable offerings. Operators
should look for features and applications that can personalize the
television experience and build customer loyalty.”
TV service in Europe is one of several key digital
living domains that
CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit will address:
Digital Lifestyles: Building the European and Global
Business Cases
Differentiating Video Services in a Hyper-competitive Market
Broadband, Value-added Services, and the Bundle

Customer
