Online TV Download Market Set To Grow
Online TV Download Market Set To Grow
Multimedia providers have been advised to consider testing out the Internet television download market.
Adams Media Research estimated that annual consumer spending on video downloads via the Internet would reach $4.1 billion dollars by 2011. Last year, the Internet TV download market generated revenues totaling $111 million. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, commented: "The internet is going to revolutionize the distribution of video."
The firm believes that the release of new products from names such as Wal-Mart, Apple and Amazon could result in a dramatic increase in consumer spending on downloads. These companies already offer consumers the chance to download premium movie and TV content.
Adams Media Research stated that new devices to download and view high-definition content will also play a part in boosting the sector, as many consumers will want to be able to purchase the latest gadgets.
"Most likely you'll see the growth spurred by the introduction and sale of hardware devices that can convert videos downloaded from the Internet into signals that can be played on high definition television sets," states Mark Weibel EVP of Marketing for Broadband National, who operates the industries leading comparative shopping website.

Corporate Acquisitions Transforming The IPTV Marketplace
Corporate Acquisitions Transforming The IPTV Marketplace
A recent spate of corporate acquisitions is changing the burgeoning Internet protocol television (IPTV) market, recent research has suggested.
The number of independent IPTV providers is rapidly decreasing, which is creating a wide market gap, according to a report from New York-based ABI Research. Recently Swedish communications giant Ericsson acquired the broadband provider Redband Networks and Motorola announced in December that it was to acquire Tut Systems.
ABI Research principal analyst Michael Arden said: "Those first IP video equipment providers were small startups creating cutting-edge technologies that the larger vendors weren't nimble enough to do themselves. "Lately, as IPTV technology becomes more important - not only for telco TV but also for cable and satellite - the big companies need those technologies."
The larger corporations are now acquiring the smaller companies, which were the first on the market, Mr. Arden added. Recently it was found that the US is not among the top ten countries with the most IPTV subscriptions, reports Telephony Online. With 896,000 IPTV subscribers, France tops the list of countries with the most IPTV subscriptions, a new report from the marketing researcher Dittberner has found.
"There's a natural cycle of consolidation in every industry and the IPTV arena is no different", states Mark Weibel, EVP of Marketing for Broadband National, the industries leading comparative shopping website. "I wouldn't be surprised if this same thing doesn't happen in other high growth broadband products and services, VoIP being one of them" For more information on IPTV visit www.broadbandnational.com
