Internet protocol TV market

Although IPTV as a platform has yet to achieve a subscriber base to rival that of cable or satellite, it has made serious gains in the years since it first arrived in Europe. France, is, and will remain, the main market for IPTV in Europe, with seven operators and a penetration rate of over 14 per cent. Its market share (now over 50 per cent of Europe's IPTV viewers) will decline as other European IPTV services start to take hold. By 2011, 65 per cent of European IPTV viewers will be outside France.
