Delivering Internet Video To TV Sets Takes A Close Look At The Efforts Underway To Deliver Internet Video To The Living Room

Posted on: Tuesday, 7 August 2007, 09:16 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c64972) has announced the addition of "New Video Dynamics: Delivering Internet Video to TV Sets" to their offering.

One in five broadband homes will soon have the capability to watch some form of Internet-based video on the TV set, according to this reports' just-released analysis of the Internet-video-to-TV market. By year-end 2007, around 12 million homes will be equipped with one of several Internet video capable TV devices, reflecting approximately 20% of U.S. broadband homes.

This ratio will rise to slightly more than two-thirds of all broadband homes, or around 72.8 million households, by year-end 2017, a rapid rise that exceeds even the dramatic growth rate of broadband connectivity itself. But, the mere availability of devices capable of turning TVs into Internet video viewing devices doesn't guarantee that viewers will actually use that capability.
