More than 60 European IPTV services currently available

Screen Digest, a research company which provides access to a vast database of global audiovisual market research information, has reported that more than 60 Internet protocol television services operated across Europe at the end of the second quarter of 2007.

It is predicted that more launches are planned for the second half of the year.

The report states that there is now a TV service for everyone. While in the past consumers were forced to pay a premium for multichannel TV, they can now simply pick the operator which best suits their needs and their pocket.

Screen Digest estimates that nearly one in 25 Spanish households and one in 10 French households will have IPTV by the beginning of 2008.

The United Kingdom is lagging behind in the market. It is estimated that fewer than one in 100 UK households will have IPTV by the end of 2007.

There is only one nationally available IPTV service in the UK, compared with eight in France, four in Spain, two in Italy and two in Germany.
