IPTV to drive DSL IC chipset market

While data and VoIP continue to drive the DSL IC chipset market and will account for the bulk of port shipments through 2010, the delivery of IPTV capability is the wave of the future, reports high-tech market research firm In-Stat.

Carriers worldwide are using ADSL2+ and VDSL2 as they upgrade their networks to deliver television and video service, says In-Stat.
