Chunghwa Telecom, the incumbent carrier in Taiwan, ended 1H07 with 333 thousand IPTV subscribers, up 84 thousand from the 249 thousand subscribers that it had at the end of 2006. This was an increase of 113 percent in the preceding 12 months. It had 157 thousand IPTV subscribers at the end of 1H06.
Chunghwa received approval for its open IPTV platform, which is based on the Alcatel-Lucent OMP middleware software. It expects to roll the service out island-wide that should attract additional subscribers and more content.
Chunghwa is now on a nice curve with its MOD IPTV service. It has had consistent subscriber growth over the last 18 months. I expect that its progress will continue and that it should easily exceed 400 thousand IPTV subscribers by the end of the year.
