According to TMCnet, if this estimate proves to be accurate, it
would reflect an increase of 60.2 percent over the next decade, from
2004 to 2014. The capital expenditure on IPTV deployments is expected to
increase by more than 14 times by the end of 2010. Currently, the United
States and Europe are generating more service revenues than the
Asia-Pacific region. This is a result of higher average revenue per user
in these regions. But by 2014, the number of worldwide users is expected
to exceed 248 million.

 StreamScope™ Enterprise Monitor
(EM-40)
At the 2008 NAB Show, Triveni Digital will debut its new
StreamScope™ Enterprise Monitor (EM-40) enterprise-wide
service-quality assurance solution. The StreamScope EM-40 is aimed at
proactive, real-time, service-based response. It proactively detects,
localizes, analyzes, isolates, and remedies faults impacting video
services based on predefined rules. This allows broadcasters, service
providers, and IPTV networks to reduce customer down-time and complaint
response costs by providing the user with full remote analysis
capabilities for any monitored streams. Alarms are generated when a
transport stream has fallen outside a specified configuration.
Integrated trend analysis enables engineering staff to analyze past
issues. The StreamScope EM-40 ensures:
- Network integrity
- Video quality of service
- Viewer satisfaction
- Lower customer service costs, lower churn, higher revenues
