In Europe, IPTV grows stronger in less "cabled" TV markets - According to the newest edition of TV Markets Quarterly Monitoring from InfoCom, the independent market analyst specialist, during 2Q07, most of the television viewers in Western Europe still prefer receiving television service over terrestrial platform. Viewing programmes using this platform does not cost as much as rival platforms. In Greece, Italy, Spain, France, the UK, Portugal and Finland, terrestrial or free-to-air TV viewers represent between 51% and 91% of the total TV market as of 1H07, according to InfoCom. CaTV and satellite are, instead, the preferred platforms by TV watchers in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg. These countries represent markets, which are traditionally highly “cabled”, where often CaTV subscriptions are already integrated into standard charges for flats, for instance, and CaTV services are a sort of commodity, therefore, people are traditionally used to a pay-TV service.
