China's 1st IPTV License Open for Broadcasters, Telecom Operators
Since the Shanghai Media Group (SMG) got China's first license of
Internet Protocol (IP) TV service this month, major broadcasters and
telecom operators have been agitated by the breakthrough in this
potentially lucrative field.
Unlike traditional cable or wireless TV, IPTV enables broadband
Internet users to access TV broadcasting services on their computers or
TV sets with a set-top box. Some advanced mobile phone users can also
be IPTV users with the technological progress.
China now has about 320 million mobile phone users, 100 million
cable TV subscribers, and nearly 23 million broadband Internet users.
Analysts expect the country's broadband users to hit the 40 million
mark this year.
