Internet TV telecom subscribers are expected to grow worldwide by three fold over the next four years, according to a report released Monday market researcher In-Stat.
Despite the dire economic climate, the number of telecom TV subscribers is expected to reach 71.6 million by 2012, according to the report.
And key markets expected to benefit include Brazil, Korea and India, as recent regulatory changes create more favorable conditions for the technology.
"A number of new countries, including places as varied as Montenegro, Jordan and Ghana, saw the launch of their first commercial IPTV offerings in 2008," Michelle Abraham, In-State analyst, said in a statement. "Only a few markets, like Japan and Argentina, remain hamstrung by restrictions that hinder incumbent operators."
The In-Stat report is yet one more indicator of the growth expected in IPTV, with ABI Research anticipating similar increases in telecom TV subscribers.
Additional changes In-Stat notes are emerging on the horizon include the convergence of applications, such as the ability to control set-top boxes from PCs and mobile phones.
