Research recently released by InStat forecasts that mobile TV tuners will more than double by 2014 from the 2009 level of 53 million.
Analog mobile TV broadcasting was brought to market in Asia in 2007 and has since achieved consumer adoption in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia/CIS, the Middle East and Africa. It is in these key regions that the continued uptake in shipment and usage of analog mobile TV handsets is expected.
The growth is predicted to happen despite the competition from other delivery mechanisms such as over-the-top, digital broadcasting and 3G mobile TV.
