United Kingdom Digital Broadcasting Market Report 2014
M2 - Fri May 02, 6:49AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t3v7wc/digital) has announced the addition of the "Digital Broadcasting Market Report 2014" report to their offering. The digital broadcasting market, covering both television and radio, has continued to grow in recent years, following the completion of the UK digital television switchover in 2012, and the rising uptake and coverage of digital radio equipment and services. In October 2012, the analogue television signal in Northern Ireland was switched off, representing the last of 15 television regions to switch-off their analogue signal in a staggered digital switchover that took place over a period of 6 years. As a result, in the final quarter of 2012, digital television uptake across the various platforms including digital terrestrial television (DTT), free-to-air digital satellite, pay digital satellite and cable reached 98% of all UK households, with the remainder accounted for by households in which television is watched via a connected devices, such as a games console, or by households that do not have a television set at all. In the radio sector, the Government has yet to set a date for the full digital switchover in the UK, with the market required to meet certain criteria relating to uptake and digital consumer listening requirements before any plan is actioned to commence the switchover process. With local digital audio broadcast (DAB) coverage trailing frequency modulation (FM) coverage considerably, and only 36.1% of radio listening undertaken digitally in the final quarter of 2013 according to Radio Joint Audience Research Ltd (RAJAR) compared with the required 50%, the digital radio switchover is unlikely to begin until at least 2020, according to the Government. Despite the slow uptake of digital radio, both sectors in the digital broadcasting market have been boosted by technological convergence in an increasing number of consumer electronics. With rising fixed-line Internet and superfast' broadband uptake, and the development and roll-out of high-speed mobile Internet in recent years, consumers are increasingly accessing radio and television content a greater variety of devices, ranging from traditional television sets; Internet-connected television sets; DAB digital radios; satellite, cable and DTT set-top boxes; smartphones; laptops and desktops; tablet computers; and games consoles. With television industry revenues rising year-on-year from 2010 onwards following a slight decline during the 2009 recessionary period the digital television broadcast sector is expected continue to exhibit growth, particularly given recovery in the wider economy and the resulting beneficial impact on advertising investment. In the radio sector, however, expenditure on listening equipment is falling and the uptake of DAB radios has slowed. However, radio industry revenues have followed a similar trend to the television market, rising year-on-year from 2010 onwards. Should the industry and Government make renewed efforts to boost uptake of digital services, the digital radio broadcasting segment should benefit significantly in the coming years.

UK Digital Communications Market Report 2014
M2 - Wed Apr 09, 8:30AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/98dz8c/digital) has announced the addition of the "Digital Communications Market Report 2014" report to their offering. In 2013, aggregated UK telecommunications retail revenues were estimated to have grown in value by 1.1%, following a similar rate of growth in 2012. This has reversed a recent trend towards decline in the telecommunications sector following reductions in mobile and fixed voice revenue, as a result of increasing propensity toward text and Internet Protocol (IP) communication platforms. Growth in the market in 2012 and 2013 has largely been driven by the ever-increasing demand for fixed-line broadband services in the market, alongside the continued strength of mobile messaging and data services, and a return to growth in mobile voice services following the launch of 4G (fourth generation) mobile communication network services in 2012. Strong performance in the mobile sectors of the industry has been driven by the massive demand and widespread proliferation of high-connectivity mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers, which provide access to a diverse range of communications channels, from traditional voice services to text messaging, e-mail, social networks, instant messaging (IM), micro-blogging and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Ownership of smartphones now exceeds half of the UK adult population, and accounts for just under three-quarters of all of mobile handset sales in the UK, following massive growth in both measures over the last 5 years. Similarly, household tablet ownership has seen similar rates of growth since the launch of these devices in 2010, with penetration doubling in size between 2012 and 2013 alone. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Global Pay TV Market 2014-2018: One Major Driver is the High Number of Subscriptions in the APAC Region
M2 - Tue Dec 17, 6:27AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5w6whm/global_pay_tv) has announced the addition of the "Global Pay TV Market 2014- 2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Pay TV market to grow at a CAGR of 9.8 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the high number of subscribers in the APAC region. The Global Pay TV market has also been witnessing the evolution of pick-and-pay services. However, the market cannibalization by segments could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this market space are Comcast Corp., DirecTV LLC, DISH Network Corp., Dish TV India Ltd., and Kabel Deutschland Holding AG. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Bharti Airtel Ltd., America Movil S.A.B. de C.V., AT&T Inc., Bell Canada Inc., British Sky Broadcasting Group plc, Cablevision SA, Canal Digital Kabel TV AS, Charter Communications Inc., Cox Communications Inc., CTC Media Inc., Deutsche Telekom AG, France Telecom SA, Iliad SA, KPN B.V., KT Corp., Net Servicos de Comunicacao SA, Oi SA, SaskTel, SK Telecom Co. Ltd., SKY Network Television Ltd., SureWest Communications, Tata Sky Ltd., Telefonica SA, Time Warner Cable Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Virgin Media Inc., and Wire and Wireless India Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Pick-and-pay services enable customers to select and pay for only those channels that they are interested in. This gives the customers freedom from adopting traditional bundled services offered by vendors in the Global Pay TV market. The vendors in this market are expected to adopt pick-and-pay strategy at a rapid pace. It would enable vendors to control the increasing churn rate of the subscribers as a result of increasing adoption of OTT services as an alternative to pay TV. However, criticisms have been made that the pick-and-pay strategy would increase the cost for the customers as this model could lead to the extinction of numerous channels. This is because content providers would be required to be more flexible in developing and delivering better content to the customers; and customers would prefer to choose content that is interesting to them. This would increase the cost for content providers, and therefore, customers would ultimately be burdened with the resulting high price. Therefore, the evolution of pick-and-pay services is a key trend that is expected to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
