The Telcos Strike Back: The Outlook for IPTV |

provide video-on-demand at all. Yet the telcos are far from
defeated. MPEG-4 and other technologies are leveling the playing
field (somewhat), and domestic telcos are following in the
footsteps of major international providers and finally deploying
video services. This Webcast assesses the current state of

registered Compound Average Growth Rates (CAGR) of 25%, 72%, and 230%,
respectively.
Given this growth potential, China may soon replace the United States as the largest
telecom market in the world.
Yet this growth puts more pressure on international companies to
understand the state of each market segment in order to succeed. This
