DIGITAL-STB MARKET STILL STRONG

摘要

The digital-STB (set-top-box) market remains a "tremendous opportunity" for manufacturers and technology providers, according to In-Stat. The research company reports that the overall digital-STB market grew from 37 million units in 2001 to nearly 190 million units in 2008, with product revenue at $18 billion. In 2009, In-Stat says, growth turned mixed across STB markets, with cable-STB shipments declining and satellite, IP (Internet Protocol), and digital-terrestrial segments continuing to see unit growth.
