New Report on the Development and Delivery of Triple Play & Digital TV in Ireland

Posted on: Wednesday, 26 September 2007, 06:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c69557) has announced the addition of "Ireland - Convergence - Triple Play & Digital TV" to their offering.

The market for converged media and applications in Ireland had a slow start as the country was hampered by poor broadband infrastructure and delivery mechanisms. The position had become far stronger by 2006, with significant digital cable TV investment from UPC Ireland and a range of DSL upgrades by alternative operators. Limited fibre deployment in greenfield sites has also extended the reach of triple play services. Cable TV companies and other providers offer Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and mobile services to their traditional pay TV and broadband packages, while Video-on-Demand (VoD) services and a range of media rich and interactive TV developments have been notable. Ireland's small and highly concentrated broadcasting sector is served by four broadcasting transmission platforms: satellite, cable, deflector and analogue terrestrial. This report presents a comprehensive overview of all these platforms and major service providers in 2007. It also notes the status of digital TV via the terrestrial, cable and satellite platforms, as well as interactive TV services.
