Internet Protocol digital television (IPTV) market is evolving by telecom service providers. So the set-top boxes manufacturers need to keep the options open. IPTV can become a huge market in near future but currently it's only a clutter of competing rivals. The handful of software and hardware elements that are used to make IPTV environment are supplied by a large number of supplier companies. Therefore, an IP-STB has to adapt itself to the specific IPTV ecosystem in which it is employed.

The global IPTV market is presently in its stage of infancy, i.e. it is deploying basic service only. Second phase of growth will witness the addition of a range of interactive and value-added services. A dramatic integration and improvements in interactivity will come with phase three.

Hence, in this expected strife for subscribers, IPTV operators are providing an emulous video offering merely as an entry cost. Distinction of IPTV services would be required to bring new capabilities to TV-based entertainment and luring subscribers. The fields of differentiation will comprise of:

·Interactivity, like communication, voting, interactive advertising and t-commerce (television commerce)

·Integration across various platforms, voice and data service

·Integration across type of contents i.e. music, gaming, video, data services and user content.

Geographically, Europe is leading the global IPTV market, both for revenue and subscribers. However, Asia will see the faster growth than any other region and will attain the largest subscriber base by this year-end. America will give the highest revenue per user.

A survey commissioned by Alliance & Leicester indicates greater demand for refused credit mortgages could be forthcoming, with four in five brokers expecting the market to grow.

The top reasons for borrowers to seek out a sub-prime or near-prime market are defaulting on debts or credit cards payments or simply having a bad credit rating, the research found.

Figures indicate that Britons are increasingly struggling to manager existing debts, suggesting that the potential market for sub-prime mortgages could swell.

Around two lenders in five report that the typical sub-prime customer is likely to be struggling financially, with many on a low income.

More than 85 per cent of brokers also report that customers are now realising that a sub or near prime mortgage can help rebuild a poor credit score.

Mehrdad Yousefi, head of intermediary mortgages at Alliance & Leicester, said: This market is becoming increasingly competitive with more lenders offering these specialised mortgages.

It is encouraging to see that brokers say their clients know the value of these type of mortgages and that it is a good way of getting potential buyers on the housing ladder while enabling them to repair their credit history by maintaining regular payments on their financial commitments.

Datamonitor estimates that 9.1 million people were refused credit by mainstream lenders in 2005, further indicative of potential growth in the refused credit mortgage market.

Personal debt has already crossed the £1 trillion barrier and the rising insolvency rate suggests that borrowers are struggling to cope, indicating a growing demand for refused-credit mortgages in the future.

As traditional lenders were tightening their criteria, the refused credit market could prove ever more attractive and other high street lenders were also likely to start catering for those with a 'slightly lower credit profile'.

As more lenders capitalise on this growing market, the increased competition could see better deals for mortgage holders.
