IPTV is still experiencinghard times in Germany. A representative survey among IPTV users and suppliers revealed 5 key success factors that could lead to the breakthrough of IPTV:

  • Suppliers have to invest more and provide users with more attractive offers. IPTV still requires internet connection with a band width of more than 3 Mbit/s for TV with a standard SD quality and more than 6 Mbit/s for TV in HD quality. The higher the offered band width, the better the TV experience and the possibilities for IPTV.
  • Suppliers have to establish IPTV as a brand. Only strong brands that are tailored to the target group will be successful.
  • IPTV has to offer attractive added-value to the consumers by interactive and individualized offers.
  • IPTV needs attractive pricing. This can be achieved if the advertising market can contribute considerably if it adapts to the needs of IPTV and develops reasonable revenue models.
  • IPTV must be simple and easy to use. This applies for hardware, IPTV offers and additional functionalities.
