Expansion in India’s IPTV market by Chinese telecom
Huawei, a leading Chinese telecommunications network provider, is planning to move into the relatively unexplored Indian market with its IPTV products. The company anticipates that the potential of IPTV products in India is immense. Although India has not grown very fast in terms of IPTV connectivity, it is considered there is a huge requirement for its products.
The proposed move assumes significance in the wake of broadcast regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) announcement earlier this week that a draft paper on IPTV services in India is expected to be ready within a month.
Earlier, TRAI had sought a consultation paper on provisioning of IPTV services, saying there was lack of clarity on who could provide such facilities.
Huawei has been partnering and supporting global operators in IPTV commercial operations. The amount of investment the company plans in India has not been disclosed.
The company also plans to enter mobile broadband business in India, and reports a high market score on data cards and modems. It has asked operators to built the mobile broadband business in India.
Huawei sold 27 million of its various products in India in 2006 and has achieved sales of 17 million sets in the first six months of 2007.
