In the pay TV services market, telcos are adding new video services that require new IP set-top boxes. The addition of more HD channels and over-the-top (OTT) video services will be strong contributors to IP set-top market growth over the next few years, according to In-Stat (www.in-stat.com).In-Stat's report "Worldwide IP Set-Top Boxes: Moving Beyond the Telco" indicates the following:* The IP set top box market will grow 24% in 2010.* Motorola remained the market share leader in 2009 with 27%.* There is some vendor consolidation taking place, with ADB buying Pirelli in 2010.* Excluding the Middle East/Africa and Latin America regions, which are growing from a small base, the North American market will see the strongest growth over the forecast period.* In-Stat expects slower price erosion on the set-top box silicon since many SoCs have already eliminated other discrete ICs.For an overview of the report, go to http://www.instat.com/catalog/mmcatalogue.asp?id=162#IN1004679ME.
