According to the recent Infonetics survey, Service Provider Plans for IP Triple Play, service providers from the North American, European, and Asia Pacific geographic regions report that on average nearly 40% of their capital expenditures were spent on triple play network equipment in 2005.

 

The study reports that the majority of service providers in the study plan to further increase capex spending in the next 12 months on IPTV equipment, broadband CPE, broadband aggregation equipment, and voice over broadband equipment, and they expect revenue growth in all areas of triple play services in the next 12 months.

 

Jeff Heynen, directing analyst at Infonetics Research, said "With nearly 40% of their capex budgets going to triple play service infrastructure, service providers are sending a clear message that the combination of voice, data, and video services is a long-term differentiator for them."
