Set top boxes with Internet access are defined as those set top
boxes that directly access the Internet for browsing or interactive
services. The market for these boxes is divided into the Cable,
DBS, DTT, DSL and video game console segments. Demand for Internet
set top boxes is being driven by an increase in broadband penetration
rates and consumer requests for iTV services. Though this market
is in its infancy, with only about 7 million boxes shipped worldwide
in 2000, significant growth is expected to occur by 2005. A significant
amount of discussion has occurred in the industry, with regard to
offering “full” Internet access or limited access via
a “walled garden.” The report gives arguments for both,
as well as insight into trends affecting each segment. The report
examines set top box manufacturers, connectivity, software providers,
and presents a segmented worldwide forecast through 2005.
