Sky to Overtake Liberty Global in Western Europe Sky to overtake Liberty Global in Western Europe Liberty Global has been the largest pay TV operator in Europe for some time (with assets both in the West and in the East). However, its top slot in Western Europe is under threat, with Sky Europe [satellite subs only] expected to overtake its subscriber count in 2017, according to a new report from Digital TV Research. Top five Western European pay TV operators by subscribers (000) 2014 2020 Liberty Global 18,981 Sky Europe 18,356 Sky Europe 10,435 Liberty Global 17,486 Vodafone 10,220 Vodafone 10,396 Altice 3,476 Telefonica 5,340 Telefonica 3,213 Altice 4,180 Note: Liberty Global includes UPC Austria, Telenet Belgium, Unity Germany, UPC Ireland, UPC & Ziggo in the Netherlands, UPC Switzerland & Virgin Media in the UK. Sky Europe comprises Austrian, German, Italian, Irish and British assets. Vodafone figures include Vodafone & Kabel Deutschland in Germany, Ono in Spain and Vodafone in Portugal. Altice comprises Numericable in Belgium and France, SFR in France, PT in Portugal (but not Cabovisao in Portugal which it must offload). Source: Digital TV Research Liberty Global’s subscriber count will fall as the company has to try to convert 8 million analog cable subs in 2010 to none by 2020 – some of these subs will be lost to other digital platforms. To put it another way, Liberty Global’s analog TV revenues [subscriptions and PPV] in Western Europe in 2010 were $1.5 billion (29% of its total) – but they will fall to nothing by 2020. Pay TV subscriptions for the 66 operators across 15 countries covered in the Western Europe Pay TV Operator Forecasts report will increase from a collective 82.0 million in 2010 to 93.1 million by 2020. Covering 98 platforms, these operators will continue to represent just under 90% of Western European pay TV subscribers. Only 36 (55%) of these operators will add to subscribers between 2014 and 2020. Traditional pay TV operators now face greater rivalry than ever before – either from other pay TV platforms such as IPTV or satellite or from “free” multichannel TV services such as DTT and OTT TV and video (such as Netflix). Spain’s Telefonica will add 2.18 million IPTV subscribers between 2014 and 2020 to take its total to 3.84 million. The UK’s BT and TalkTalk will also gain; climbing by 999,000 and 607,000 IPTV subs respectively. At the other end of the scale, Germany’s Unitymedia will lose 592,000 cable TV subs, followed by the Netherlands’ UPC (down by 400,000) and Sweden’s Com Hem (down by 390,000 subs). France’s TNT will lose a third of its subs, with Switzerland’s UPC/Cablecom and Finland’s Canal Digital down by a quarter. Total subscription and VOD revenues for the 66 operators will remain at around $29 billion. These operators account for about 92% of Western European pay TV revenues. Sky Europe [satellite TV subs only] will remain at the top of the revenues league, recording $10.5 billion subscription and VOD revenues by 2020. Subscription and VOD revenues will fall for 37 of the 66 operators (56%) covered in the Western Europe Pay TV Operator Forecasts report between 2014 and 2020. UPC in the Netherlands will be the biggest winner; increasing revenues by $310 million between 2014 and 2020 as subs convert from analog to digital. However, France’s CanalSat will lose $229 million as homes convert to fixed/triple- play options.

  • Telenet Has 600,000 Fixed Line Customers
    PRESS RELEASE Telenet has 600,000 fixed line customers Mechelen, 11 September 2008 – Today Telenet recorded its 600,000 th fixed line customer. The success of Telenet in the area of fixed line telephony is chiefly the result of solid innovation power and well-thought out product development: Telenet was the first company in Belgium to introduce flat-fee phone formulae to the market with FreePhone and FreePhone 24. Last week Telenet launched FreePhone Europe as part of the new Shakes. With 600,000 customers Telenet now has a penetration of nearly 25% of the Flemish market. Approximately one in four Flemish families makes a call using a Telenet fixed line. “The fixed phone line continues to be popular with the middle-aged and seniors”, emphasises Dann Rogge, Director of Product Marketing Telephony and Internet at Telenet, “but we are now seeing an increase in the number of young families opting for a fixed line again. Comfort, operating certainty and a low price are the deciding factors in their decision to go for a fixed line. Young families want to be able to reach each other "as a family" at all times, and they want to be able to do so at an attractive price. That’s not possible with just one subscription for a mobile phone, because at the end of the day a GSM is a very ‘individual’ device and significantly more expensive than a fixed line phone". New phone product: FreePhone Europe. On 8 September the new Telenet Shakes were launched. FreePhone Europe has been introduced for all combinations with a phone product.

  • Global Pay TV Fragments
    Global pay TV fragments The top 503 pay TV operators will reach 853 million subscribers from the 1.02 billion global total by 2026. The top 50 operators accounted for 64% of the world’s pay TV subscribers by end-2020, with this proportion dropping to 62% by 2026. Pay TV subscribers by operator ranking (million) 1200 1000 143 165 38 45 800 74 80 102 102 600 224 215 400 200 423 412 0 2020 2026 Top 10 11-50 51-100 101-200 201+ Excluded from report The top 50 will lose 20 million subscribers over the next five years. However, operators beyond the top 100 will gain subscribers over the same period. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Most industries consolidate as they mature. The pay TV sector is doing the opposite – fragmenting. Most of the subscriber growth will take place in developing countries where operators are not controlled by larger corporations.” By end-2020, 13 operators had more than 10 million pay TV subscribers. China and India will continue to dominate the top pay TV operator rankings, partly as their subscriber bases climb but also due to the US operators losing subscribers. Between 2020 and 2026, 307 of the 503 operators (61%) will gain subscribers, with 13 showing no change and 183 losing subscribers (36%). In 2020, 28 pay TV operators earned more than $1 billion in revenues, but this will drop to 24 operators by 2026. The Global Pay TV Operator Forecasts report covers 503 operators with 726 platforms [132 digital cable, 116 analog cable, 279 satellite, 142 IPTV and 57 DTT] across 135 countries.

    WG RRC-06(05) Status for the implementation of DVB-T in the CEPT area October 2005 Introduction The ITU Regional Radiocommunications Conference RRC-06 shall establish a new agreement and associated frequency plans, including a new plan for terrestrial digital television (DVB-T) in the frequency bands 174 - 230 MHz (Band III) and 470 - 862 MHz (Bands IV/V). In preparation for the RRC-06 the CEPT has decided to follow the implementation of DVB-T. A significant number of CEPT countries have made a commitment to DVB-T with pilot or test transmissions taking place and planning studies under way for nation-wide coverage. Furthermore, a number of countries already have operational transmissions. In order to inform the WG RRC-06 on the implementation of DVB-T the ERO is maintaining this overview document. It consists of a table with figures on frequencies, transmitters, receivers and population coverage. Additional information is provided in the text following the table in the form of notes for each country. Please note that the map indicates the current status of implementation of DVB-T in CEPT countries and not the actual coverage. An updated overview is to be presented at each WG RRC-06 meeting.
