TV Evolution: IPTV, Hybrid TV and Over The Top (Internet) TV

TV Delivery Evolution: IPTV, Hybrid TV and Over The Top (Internet) TV
Background
Hybrid TV is not new; it’s been within the industry’s lexicon for many years. Back in 2004 hybrid
TV was shown in many presentations as part of the industry’s roadmap. So the transition
should not be a surprise, however, for many executives the shift to hybrid TV has been a quiet
revolution. Especially given two of the telco industry’s most successful TV deployments,
Verizon FiOS (3.2M customers in 2010) and Orange TV (2.7M customers in 2010), are both
hybrid TV, more specifically Hybrid Broadcast Broadband (HBB) TV. The whole of the payTV
industry is now taking notice of what this means.
This workshop also examines the state of Over The Top (OTT) TV (also known as Internet TV)
such as Netflix, AppleTV, Amazon On Demand, Google TV, Boxee, etc. And Hybrid Broadcast
Internet (HBI) services such as Canal+ Le Cube and Telecom Italia’s CuboVision; which rather
than using a managed IP network use the internet. These developments are opening up new
battle fronts in the payTV landscape.
The Telco TV (IPTV) market, though growing, remains less than 10% of the total payTV market
through to 2013. However, as cable, terrestrial and satellite providers examine interactive TV
options, they will likely go hybrid. A hybrid TV solution opens up a far broader market
opportunity that just Telco TV. That is part of the reason behind Ericsson buying Tandberg,
Cisco buying Scientific Atlanta and Technicolor’s (previously called Thomson SA) growth across
the payTV industry.
The payTV market is predicted to reach 575M subscribers in 2012, compared to telco IPTV of
45M subs. Note Netflix recently achieved 20M subscribers of its internet TV service. The
hybrid TV and internet TV market is much bigger than just Telco TV, hence why it needs to be
on the agenda of all telco / TV suppliers. This workshop also examines the suppliers of TV
solutions and STBs (Set Top Box) across IPTV, Hybrid and Internet TV.
An important component of this workshop for the telco industry is the explanation the TV
ecosystem and its terminology, which does cause some confusion with the telco lexicon. IPTV,
hybrid TV and Internet TV cannot be treated as an isolated industry; they’re the delivery pipes
for the much larger, complex and well established TV industry. Hence understanding the TV
ecosystem is critical to appreciating the importance of hybrid TV, what created its success, and
the attributes it brings in helping payTV operators maintain their role in the evolving TV
ecosystem.
This workshop brings together work performed on IPTV, hybrid TV and internet TV over the
past three years through over 200 operator and supplier interviews and online questionnaires,
gathering information on deployment experiences, market requirements, competitive
landscape, and technology trends.
