According to ABI Research, consolidation in the set-top box market is not over.
According to ABI Research, worldwide carrier WiFi revenues are expected to reach nearly $8 billion by 2019. The research house says the pieces of the carrier WiFi puzzle are falling into place as the standardization process speeds up with the recent updates on Hotspot 2.0 and commercial Next Generation Hotspot deployments counting more than 12 networks worldwide.
Asia-Pacific is the top region in number of installed WiFi hotspots while Europe and North America continue to grow their networks through the use of community hotspots. MSOs like BT, Liberty Global and Comcast are advertising millions of public hotspots, thanks to switching on the dual-access feature in their home gateway deployments.
