Tracks market growth of new digital set-tops (and related infrastructure products) for all three carriers using both 'DMC' and 'non-DMC' scenarios. Even greater than the DMC influence is the sharp change in consumer expectations, which is described in this report.
The report also tracks the migration of digital set-tops from single-carrier devices to universal ('multi-carrier') devices that work anywhere in the U.S.; the resulting increased revenues for carriers and product suppliers; and related changes that retail channels and suppliers must address. (The analysis includes both unit and dollar growth from 1998-2002 for digital set-top and infrastructure products.)
This report is available in both English and Japanese editions.
