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.
