At a time when the same content is available on a multitude of platforms, where players that once operated in very distinct areas now find themselves competing with one another more and more, and where “free” is becoming the dominant business model, this new IDATE market report provides an in-depth examination of the changes at work in the advertising market. |

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. |

After having met with mixed results, two-way satellite access has been enjoying a upswing in popularity over the past two years. This report examines recent developments in the United States, Asia and Europe, then analyses the issues involved in rolling out these services and assesses the opportunities tied to the deployment of fixed satellite access services in residential markets in Europe and North Africa.

This report explores the various initiatives aimed at developing hybrid satellite networks in Europe, involving both the space segment and a terrestrial segment of repeaters that are compatible with the satellite network. The award of two pan-European licences is expected to spur the development of mobile TV services, as well as mobile telephony and broadband solutions. |

Content exchange online is evolving profoundly. P2P solutions are constantly being perfected. 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. |

The explosive growth of mobile data services will impact spectrum usage and valuation in the coming years. It will reinforce the interest of mobile operators for both lower frequency bands (such as the Digital Dividend) for the coverage of rural areas and in-building penetration and high frequency bands for capacity needs. This report focuses on three main topics: the outcome of the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07), the digital dividend and the new frequency bands and their associated valuation. |

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. |

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. |

The Fixed-Mobile Convergence market (FMC) could generate revenue of 900 million EUR in 2013 in Western Europe’s five largest markets, and so accounting for 4% of total mobile services revenue. Starting with a detailed inventory of FMC services aimed at businesses and an analysis of the offers being marketed by operators, this report then examines the underlying trends governing the use of FMC. |

For a greenfield FTTH rollout, civil engineering is by far the largest cost item. This report is thus devoted to exploring solutions that can help bring down these necessary civil engineering expenses. |
|
 |
FTTx subscriber numbers are rising swiftly despite the economic downturn, and are likely to continue to do so at an ever greater pace between now and 2014 as incumbent carriers and public authorities have become very clearly involved. But there are still a great many questions that need to be answered over the rate of deployment, technical developments and the business models governing the new applications that superfast broadband will enable. |
|
 |
This report examines the different technologies, both current and future, employed in FTTH or FTTB rollouts, including PON and Ethernet networks, as well as the latest developments in copper technologies (notably DSM). The topic of outfitting homes with cable is also addressed. And, finally, the report provides exclusive insights from leading industry players into the reasons behind their technological choices. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
