"Shaping the future of pay TV: Survive or Thrive?"
Despite the recent economic downturn, global pay TV markets continue to grow and according to the latest market data, they will continue to expand by a quarter from 2009 to 2014. Cable will remain the largest pay TV platform, satellite the second-largest and Telco TV the smallest (DTT aside), but the latter will show the fastest growth, more than doubling its share by 2014, albeit starting from a much smaller base. Most of the subscribers captured by Telco TV will be lured away from cable services.
