Rethink TV, from Rethink Technology Research, has published its latest report, "Set Top Operating Systems Forecast 2025-2030". While the golden age of the set top is over and the industry is in managed decline, device shipments are holding up better than expected and the battle over their software foundations has intensified, accordign to the report.

We all know the story. The days when broadcast TV is delivered by satellite are numbered. Pay-TV households in the US declined 31 percent, from 84 million in 2019 to 58 million by the end of 2023, according to Statista. While the decline was offset by growth in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA, Ampere Analysis predicts that this situation will change, as the industry experiences the first-ever annual decline in global pay TV penetration.

Defense and government have always been significant markets for the satellite industry, and if anything, that significance is increasing.  In the US in particular, this is partially due to the increasingly close cooperation and integration of commercial players into the Department of Defense (DoD) strategy.  In addition, in response to current geopolitical tensions and events around the world, globally, defense spending is on the rise.  At the same time, more regions and nations are prioritizing independent defense strategies, rather than rely on cooperation with others.

Over eight in 10 (82 per cent) believe organisations are not investing enough in cybersecurity, particularly when it comes to protecting critical national infrastructure (CNI) according to data released today by Ground Control.

The global Internet of Things (IoT) market is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5% from $959.6 billion in 2023 to US$ 1.8 trillion in revenue in 2028. This growth is driven by the rise of enterprise applications, enhanced by technologies like 5G and AI. While IoT presents significant opportunities, challenges such as security concerns and fragmented standards must be addressed to ensure its widespread adoption and success, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

FreeWheel, a Comcast company and global technology platform for the premium video advertising industry, has today released the findings from a new study, CTV Barometer, carried out with GWI — the consumer insights tech company. The research shows that streaming TV is rapidly becoming a popular way to consume content, regardless of age.

This comprehensive research highlights the superiority of premium OTT services in these markets and their potential for advertisers.

The satellite market is one that constantly continues to change and evolve as new technologies emerge, price points change, new markets open up and new alliances are struck.  However, there is another independent variable that at times, and this is one of those times, can have a dramatic effect on the overall market; and that is geopolitical tensions.

Space is an increasingly important element in global defense and security.  There are three key factors driving this growth.  

The World Teleport Association (WTA) today released The DVB-NIP Revolution, a new research report that examines the new capabilities DVB-NIP can bring, their impact on providers that are already deep into supporting streaming video and the opportunity to find new growth niches for video over satellite.
