Market Share of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Industry
The Internet protocol television (IPTV) market trend is consolidated but inclining towards fragmentation with the increasing number of players offering the hardware setup and IPTV service systems. Also, the market is undergoing vertical integration as TV manufacturers are partnering with telecom companies providing built-in set-up-box encouraging the adoption of IPTV.
In November 2023, Enghouse Networks announced it delivered its new IPTV service to Île-à-la-Crosse Communications Society Inc. (ICSI) in Saskatchewan, Canada. The service was created and launched despite wildfires threatening telecommunications infrastructure throughout the region. In August 2023, Enghouse was approached by ICSI, which provides TV services in northwestern Saskatchewan. The signal provider for their cable TV service planned to shut down the service in six weeks for economic reasons, and ICSI needed an alternative solution immediately.
In October 2023, M7 Deutschland is expanding its long-standing partnership with Austrian network operator LIWEST. In addition to the introductory cable TV offer with free TV, pay-TV, and foreign-language channels, M7 now supplies the network operator with full IPTV license rights, including advanced functions. LIWEST can thus expand its IPTV platform with additional TV channels in HD resolution, which enable viewers to consume TV programs with interactive TV add-on functions. The advanced features include time-shifted TV via restart and replay.
