Browse All Primary Research IP Home Services for European Households

IP Home Services for European Households is a multicountry consumer survey that determines the IP home services and features in highest demand, preferred providers (and ideal partners) for specific service suites, and optimal pricing models.

Service providers throughout Europe are looking to add value to broadband services in order to increase revenues and extend their subscriber relationships. Top options include video, home management, and tech support services, but finding the correct service combinations and attracting consumers have been challenges. For example, usage and awareness of TV Everywhere services have been fairly low among Western European households, diminishing their efficacy in combating OTT.
