Deutsche Telekom IPTV Subscribers

I just heard from a reliable source that Deutsche Telekom had 25,000 IPTV subscribers at the end of 2006. About 15,000 of these were served off of Siemens VDSL systems and 10,000 were served off of ECI VDSL Systems.

This means that Deutsche Telekom made good progress with its IPTV service in the fourth quarter of 2006. This is a running rate going into 2007 that will put its objective of 100 to 200 thousand IPTV subscribers by the end of the year within reach.

This is also good news for Microsoft. If DT maintains this rate, it will be the poster child for the Microsoft IPTV Edition Software.
