Italy - Convergence - Triple Play & Digital TV
Italy has one of the strongest markets in Europe for triple play and converging media applications, largely on the back of an excellent broadband network and expanding fibre footprint. The digital TV market is mature, while Sardinia became the first region to switch to digital terrestrial TV, in November 2007, and the regulator has provided spectrum for other providers, thus preventing the duopoly of the broadcasters RAI and Mediaset from extending their stranglehold of the analogue TV market to digital TV. Satellite TV remains the main pay TV platform in the absence of cable TV, while deals with broadband providers have made Sky Italia's channels available through IPTV. This report analyses Italy's market for triple play and digital TV in 2008, providing an overview of the country's digital TV markets and an assessment of regulator and market measures to prepare for analogue switchover in 2012.
