朋友Jason任职于美国著名咨询公司Instat，他们长期专注于互联网视音频研究。现在他们逐渐在中国开展业务，包括开展中国市场调研、向中国地区销售调研报告。

以前有条件时(以前的公司买的起)，我曾大量阅读他们的调研报告。

他给了我一个链接，是他们的关于中国市场的免费报告，他们曾用于前不久向美国硅谷介绍中国情况。其中有一篇简略总结了中国IPTV的状况，现摘录报告结论如下：

IPTV, featured for its interactivity, presents an attractive and promising potential market for all:

• Telecom carriers are looking for a new revenue stream
• Content provider see IPTV as an additional sales and innovation place
• Equipment vendors hope to see a new wave of investment

The early stage for this market is not easy and there are still barriers to overcome:

• Regulatory/administrative issues still need to be resolved
• Technology need to be plentiful and affordable
• Content needs to be developed that is interactive and specific to IPTV

But, after slow growth from 2005-07, the Olympics will spur growth in 2008:

• The subscriber base is expected to grow from 4.5 million in 2008 to 18.2 million in 2010.
