A recent study published by IDC indicates that, despite relatively limited uptake of IPTV in previous years, total IPTV subscriber connections in CEE are poised to grow more than 100% in 2008, from approximately 290,000 connections in 2007.

Some are focused specifically on delivering solutions such as storage as a service, but the use of cloud-based storage is much broader. This presentation was given at Storage Networking World in Dallas, Texas, on October 15, 2008. It defines and forecasts cloud-based storage and puts it in the broader context of cloud computing. IDC also highlights the business requirements that will drive the adoption of cloud-based storage and examines the industries and companies that will build and use cloud-based storage.

IDC combines the service providers' public data on local voice, primary retail wireline voice, paid television subscriptions, and broadband connections to create this metric. IDC examines this data and places it in the context of trends shaping these consumer markets. The following companies are covered in this analysis: AT&T, Verizon, Cablevision, Charter, Comcast, Cox Communications, Embarq, Qwest, and Time Warner Cable. Together, these operators account for approximately 90% of the overall broadband subscriber customer base in the United States, 87% of local consumer voice subscribers, and 70% of cable television customers.

This means that more trade activities and more SMEs will come out in the near future. As the number of new paying customers is increasing, more value-added services (VASs) are provided. SMEs will gradually play a noticeable role in the development of the B2B market.

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=CA1CMS8http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=CA1CMS8This IDC Presentation reports the results of two Canadian consumer surveys completed in January and June 2008. As part of its ongoing research into the consumer communications market, IDC Canada regularly surveys Canadian consumers. The surveys focused on a broad range of consumer communications, TV/video services, and technologies. New topics include wireless data usage, Internet speed and capacity, consumer attitudes toward potential new home broadband, and networking services. The purpose of this IDC Presentation is to share with Consumer Multiply SIS clients the key results of these important surveys and to provide high-level guidance to vendors about market trends around consumer broadband, communications, and TV/video services. There is a considerable volume of detailed data beyond what is provided in this presentation. Therefore we encourage you to contact IDC if you have any specific questions about a market segment or customer set of interest to you. Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EDT
