We are forecasting that the number of DSL subscribers will grow from 218 million in 2007 to 353 million in 2011, a compounded annual growth rate of 13 percent. These DSL subscribers are the base for the IPTV subscribers shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 shows that the number of global IPTV Subscribers will grow from 13.5 million in 2007 to 72.6 million in 2011, a compound annual growth rate of 40 percent.

Europe remains the leading region, and its subscriber numbers have increased versus the April 2007 forecast. Asia's prospects have continued to improve, as tests in China and India have blossomed into successful deployments. We believe that Asian and European subscriber numbers will steadily grow closer over the period of this Forecast.

Figure 1-2 shows that the global IPTV Service Revenue Forecast is $3.7 billion in 2007 growing to $23.2 billion in 2011, a compound annual growth rate of 44 percent. Although Asia and Europe are increasingly close in the number of subscribers, Europe and North America are generating a disproportionate amount of revenue, due to lower average prices in Asia.
