Juniper Networks Research Concludes: Consumers Favour Telecom Providers and ISPs for IPTV Delivery Consumers would choose traditional telecom providers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) over portal/content providers to supply their IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service, according to new European research commissioned by Juniper Networks. The research suggests that consumers’ primary concerns focus upon the quality, reliability and security of broadband connections. Juniper’s research also suggests that IPTV adoption will be increasingly defined by consumer demands for highly personalized services, enabling users to build their own schedules and packages built around on-demand content. As a result, “traditional” providers in the U.K., France and Germany may have only a small window of opportunity to establish services and secure IPTV subscribers before competition hots up. The incumbent telecom operators were given particularly strong support in Germany and the U.K. (62.5% and 48.5% as first choice provider respectively). This is where the challenge to win IPTV customers will be most acute, as German and British respondents also had the highest levels of existing cable and satellite TV service subscribers. By comparison, respondents in France, which had the highest level of existing IPTV users (3.5%), placed most trust in ISPs, reflecting the more competitive telecoms market with numerous ISPs successfully vying for broadband customers. Survey respondents (3000 in total), all consumers in the U.K., France and Germany between 18 and 65+ years of age, opted for established telecoms brands over other potential IPTV providers, because they perceive this will deliver the best quality of service.

By the end of 2006, there was 2,5 million paying IPTV subscribers in EMEA according to Canalys research. To understand how service providers can benefit from this opportunity, Juniper Networks recently gathered representatives from some of the leading IPTV Service Providers and vendors in the IPTV market space for a round table. What will provoke migration? Is quality a bigger issue than initially anticipated and do consumers care about security?
