COMPETITIVE WATCH: Digital TV Explosion By 2005 skyreport.com Digital TV Explosion By 2005 - Recently-released data from Allied Business Intelligence (ABI) affirms that digital technology will be the key to broadcast services in the new millennium. Worldwide digital broadcast, including satellite, cable and terrestrial services, will have a 43 percent compound annual growth rate from 1999 to 2005, according to ABI's finding. Growth is being driven by the convergence of computers with televisions, spawning an ever-widening audience for new services. Entertainment will attract the majority of subscribers, and real video-on-demand, when it arrives, will be a major source of income for broadcasters. According to ABI, by year-end 1999, there will be a 2.5 percent worldwide penetration of digital TVs per household. ABI forecasts that that number will go up to 21 percent by year-end 2005.
