So, how has IPTV fared in real-world deployment? The numbers are cloudy because the service is just taking off.
AT&T U-verse rosily predicted passing 18 million homes, but faced a reality check when the envisioned number was reduced to 8 million. Some sources state that AT&T's Q4 report cited 3,000 subscribers.
The largest IPTV implementation so far is in Hong Kong, where PCCW claims 650,000 subscribers. During the next five years, IPTV is expected to grow to 80 million subscribers worldwide from about 6 million IPTV households today.
