China choses Digital Terrestrial standard
China's Standardization Administration of China has finally chosen the country's digital terrestrial television transmission standard after five years of delays. The country is to use a locally-developed DTT standard, a move designed to avoid license payments to foreign technology companies. New standard will come into effect from 1st August 2007. A separate standard for mobile broadcasting is due to be set by 2008, in time for the Beijing Olympic Games. China is aiming to switch off its analogue TV signal by 2015. Firming up of the standard will be a boon to hardware manufacturers which have been waiting five years for the development of a local DTT solution. China temporarily adopted the European DVB-C standard but always made clear that a home-grown technology would eventually be developed. The standard was created by researchers at Beijing's Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiaotong University. Just over a quarter of China's estimated 400m TV homes rely on cable for their television, but satellite TV has only limited reach due to a government band on the distribution technology. Digital terrestrial television is expected to make up the difference.

China Cable Television Market Assessment and Forecast t...
With 378 million TV households and 152 million cable TV, China is the world's largest television and cable market. Cable dominates the multi-channel industry as satellite reception is banned and IPTV is in its infancy. China's pay TV market is enjoying a period of strong growth and despite regulatory hurdles still offers significant investment opportunities for global technology suppliers. In particular, the Beijing Olympics is driving domestic digital cable roll-out and system upgrades.

Cable networks in China
Without the competition from satellite that exists elsewhere, cable has built a strong position in China and now has 142m subscribers, of which 26m are digital households. Despite the size of the overall cable market in China, the cable industry is highly fragmented. In 2001, large networks with 200,000 or more households accounted for less than 10 per cent of Chinese cable networks. Today, more than 50 per cent of networks have fewer than 20,000 households.
