Cable returns to television

March 22, 2012 10.53 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Guy Bisson, research director, television, IHS Screen Digest outlines European cable’s refocussing on television following several years of concentration on broadband.

“We see the core growth for the next five years coming back to its original business and I think that’s a really interesting trend for this year.”

In a Broadband TV News video interview, Bisson said that Germany was sitting on a goldmine of analogue subscribers from where it could grow revenues once the conversion to digital had taken place.
