This Market Leaders report identifies which IPTV systems and software companies are leading each of the IPTV markets globally and within the four regional markets that we track. We have measured market position using estimates of the actual number of active IPTV subscribers that are using or being supported by the company’s products for all product segments except the Video Headends. For the Video Headends we have measured market position using estimates of the number of IPTV channels that are to be provided using the company’s products. Since a Video Headend may support two thousand or two million subscribers, the number of channels is a much better measure of each company’s market position. This methodology gives a good measure of the relative position of each company as well as the prospects for future growth.

This report includes a ranking of the leading companies in each product category along with the number of subscribers or channels that each company’s products support today. We have extended this approach by listing the top five rankings globally and within each region.

In addition, we rate the growth prospects for each company based on the number of large IPTV service deployments the company is participating in. We have included tables that show the number of significant deployments that each company is included globally and within each region.

A significant deployment is one that has been announced and is expected to grow by at least 100,000 subscribers in 2006 or 2007.

This report includes the Asian, European, North American, and Rest of the World (ROW) regions.

This report is part of the IPTV Tracking Service published by the Multimedia Research Group, Inc.
