Bucking downward trends in the economy through aggressive deployments, IT market researchers predict that Internet protocol television – or “IPTV” – will grow more than 50 percent this year. According to international research firm Parks Associates, the number of subscribers worldwide to telco/IPTV services will approach 40 million by year-end 2009.

Parks Associates reports the number of telco/IPTV households worldwide grew by nearly 80 percent in 2008 to exceed 20 million. It is forecasted that the growth rate will exceed 50 percent in 2009. Japan is seeing greater deployments, however, the United States is projected to see a larger movement toward IPTV deployments, industry experts say, as more residences transition from cable to wireless.
