The number of households using IPTV worldwide will grow to more than 80 million in 2011, from just 6 million at the end of 2006, according to a Strategy Analytics report, entitled “Global IPTV Forecast: Homes Users, and Subscribers.”
IPTV revenue, however, will see considerably less growth over the same five year period, as many customers are given the service as a free perk with their broadband internet access. The number of paying IPTV customers in 2011 will only be around 40.9 million, the research firm predicts. [ more ›› ]

(TSX - NII.TO; OTC BB - NSATF.OB), a leading provider of intelligent satellite solutions, will introduce its new miniaturized 8W block up converter. The 8W block up converter is packaged in a compact 6.5 pound “tissue-box” and is now fully operational across the entire extended Ku Band. A unit will be on display at the company’s booth at Satellite 2007 in Washington, D.C. on February 19th, 2007.”We continue to push the limits in terms of what is truly possible. This miniaturized transmitter is the smallest in the industry. It is also the first of its kind to operate across the full extended band. This is significant because there is plenty of inexpensive satellite capacity available in the extended Ku band,” said Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO, Norsat International Inc. “The diminutive size provides great flexibility to integrators who are required to manage the performance - size tradeoffs.” [ more ›› ]
