Starting with a detailed look at the way that the online TV and video offer is developing, combined with an in-depth analysis of the tools and technologies paving the way for TV 2.0, this report will explore the strategies of the market’s players and the way that the “fundamentals” are evolving (advertising investment trends and any regulatory changes) in a bid to give their view on the conditions surrounding the emergence of TV 2.0 and to put forward a scenario which illustrates these. |

Increasingly, the Internet Protocol is being used to distribute television services. But the protocol, which has become common to a wide array of fixed and mobile networks, offers myriad scenarios and options for implementation. This shift favours the emergence of new entrants, in particular telecom network operators, service providers and aggregators. This study has two objectives: on the one hand, to provide a frame of reference enabling a more focused appreciation of the changes and challenges associated with turning to IP for video distribution; on the other hand, to gain a sense of what the market for video over IP will look like in the near future with regard to services, players and systems. |

Spurred in large part by the growing ubiquity of broadband, innovation on the internet has never been healthier. The online giants (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, eBay…) naturally top the ranks for the most popular flagship services, and are developing aggregation strategies for new high-potential services (blogging, VoIP, video, mobile, etc.). Technological innovation (new products and services) is at the very heart of the internet giants’ strategies – all locked in a battle for audience, which has led to the launch of a host of new services, to increasingly broad (sometimes too broad!) diversification and to a very active partnership and acquisitions policy. |

This market report carried out by IDATE try to answer the following question: Can network outsourcing become the norm of the industry? We believe this question falls within a much broader one on the future models of telecom operators. As carriers in advanced markets face usage, growth, globalization and regulatory challenges, they will increasingly steer away from their generalist positioning to improve their return on invested capital. |

Access to the radio spectrum is a critical requirement for all sectors using wireless technologies, such as media, mobile communications, defence and civil aviation. In the telecom sector, spectrum allocation decisions, spectrum harmonization and spectrum availability are key to both equipment vendors and operators. This year, the ITU will hold the World Radiocommunication Conference, where ITU radio regulations will be updated and the rules that will define the spectrum landscape for the years to come will be agreed on a global basis. This report looks at how the perception of radio spectrum is evolving today and which players are best placed to seize significant shares of spectrum assets. |

The gradual substitution of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) for analogue terrestrial broadcasting started several years ago in the major developed countries which, for the most part, have already set their switch-off date. Nevertheless, the rollout and implementation of this double process of cut-off and digitalisation have proven to be very different from one country to another and show the various approaches to the arrival of digital broadcasting. This IDATE study first presents an overview as well as a perspective on the various switch-off methods in Europe, the United States and Japan. It then analyses the major cutover issues and highlights the magnitude of repercussions on the entire audiovisual sector, well beyond just the cut-off stage. |

This IDATE report explores the innovations being brought to the service bundles marketed by telecom operators: incumbent carriers, cablecos, ISPs and mobile operators. It will examine the most innovative bundles – those that combine several components of the quadruple play, those built around a core service such as TV, internet access or mobile calling, or those where innovation lies chiefly in the area of pricing. |

Femtocells have seemingly gone from cult to mainstream in the space of a year. Despite this, no femtocells have been deployed commercially and considerable hurdles must be overcome before units can be rolled out on a wide-scale basis. As such, the approach of this report is to present the views of leading experts from the vendor and operator communities, as well as a summary of the activities of all concerned in bringing femtocells to market. It is hoped that this will provide an effective overview of the market as it stands now, albeit one that is necessarily incomplete and a work in progress. |

This report takes stock of the current state of enterprise mobile voice and data services. By conducting a detailed analysis of the catalogue of business services marketed by eleven European operators in the five largest European countries, it picks out the underlying market trends in network strategy: 3G+, Wi-Fi, handsets, wVoIP… and range of services: segmentation, content, formats, billing modes... Based on information gathered from a survey conducted in France, it then presents a number of indicators on the integration of mobile in business (take-up, consumption, budgets, planning, etc.). Lastly, by cross-checking the information produced from this analysis with supply and demand, the report offers a current and medium-term assessment of the enterprise mobile services markets. |

New platforms, such as news groups, stock & share platforms and video sharing sites, are developing at a rapid pace and private solutions, such as closed communities and the use of instant messaging, are now becoming more available. IDATE’s report presents the value-added chain of content exchange on the Internet, technical innovations and key players, based on a number of case studies. It offers components for measuring piracy and sets out the main tools for countering illegal exchange. |

Faced with a slowing growth rate of ad revenue for the small screen and the rising popularity of off-the-grid viewing, TV channel operators are working to forge themselves a position on the web to take advantage of the huge increase in advertising investments in this medium. Capitalising on the strength of their media brands, broadcasters are offering new TV services online. This “new media” strategy, which is being deployed by TV channels across the board in North America and Europe, is forcing changes in media chronology, new business models and a change in the TV broadcaster and aggregator businesses – moving from the delivery of a push type TV service to the distribution of programmes in pull mode, while working to create a more personalised and interactive relationship with viewers. |
