Conquering Many Challenges, IPTV is Capturing the Market
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has long been touted as the anchor application of triple play. Delivered successfully, bundled voice, data and video offer much-needed increased ARPU (average revenue per user). iSuppli has predicted that IPTV alone will generate global revenues of US $38 billion by 2009 and could increase ARPU to US $132/month in developed countries. In addition to the improved revenue, it is believed that IPTV, and associated bundled services, will help service providers to attract new subscribers and reduce churn.
