Cable continues to be the dominant television viewing platform, however over two-thirds of subscriptions worldwide still use analog. This is expected to change rapidly, with digital cable households outnumbering analog starting in 2012. As countries roll out their respective Digital Switchover (DSO) programs, the relative importance of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) as a primary viewing platform is expected to increase.

Although there has been much optimism about the future of IPTV, Strategy Analytics predicts that the technology may have encountered a speedbump and has scaled back its estimate, and now estimating 68 million households worldwide to use IPTV as a primary platform by 2014. Global Digital Pay TV revenues are forecasted by Strategy Analytics to grow from roughly $150 billion in 2010 to $215 billion by 2014. Pay per View (PPV) and Video on Demand (VOD) revenues are likewise forecast to see strong growth, reaching $21 billion in 2014.
