The internet protocol television (IPTV) is a system through which TV services are delivered by a private network to end users via the internet. Any user with an IP device such as a laptop, tablet, and smart phone can avail IPTV service anytime and anywhere, as long as the user has access to high-speed broadband internet.
Rise in demand for high-definition channels and hybrid services drives the growth of the global IPTV access infrastructure market. However, lack of infrastructure impedes the market growth. Low-cost high-end channel packages with additional services are expected to offer a major opportunity for market expansion.
