Central and Eastern Europe has been hit hard by the global economic situation, although TV has weathered it surprisingly well. With so many new services having launched in recent years, the financial downturn could well have prompted numerous closures of nascent services still trying to gain a secure foothold in some seriously competitive markets. But that hasnt happened to any great extent and the sector is wellpositioned to flourish as a result. Informa Telecoms & Medias forecasts for the region show that pay TV revenues are expected to increase by 50% over the six years to 2015. Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) will also continue to increase in the forecast period, as the number of services on offer and the subsequent tiering of channels and introduction of PPV/VOD packages rises. But ARPU rates of increase will start to slow towards the end of the forecast period and in some sectors go into decline - as the impact of dual- and triple-play bundles, plus new competition from over-the-top (OTT) services, pushes down TV prices. (See fig. 1) Russia and Poland are Eastern Europes revenue giants, together accounting for 43% of the regions pay TV revenues. Their position is set to become stronger during the forecast period accounting for a combined 51% of pay TV revenues in 2015. Satellite TV has taken off pretty spectacularly (see Fig. 1) and is poised to overtake cable as the leading platform. Digital pay DTH has established itself as a significant alternative and has made a dent in cables dominance. Satellite benefits from its perception as a premium TV service giving it an advantage over the often fragmented cable sector, which finds it difficult to shake off its historic connotation as a low-cost utility service. Digital TV is forecast to grow fairly rapidly in Central and Eastern Europe over the next five years and close 2015 with 125 million digital households a near three-fold increase over six years. Digital penetration will reach 73% of the regions TV households by 2015. Of the 14 forecast countries, 13 are expected to have digital penetration in excess of 65% by 2015, including six countries at 90% or more. Only the Ukraine is expected to fail to reach 65%. (See fig. 2) As is to be expected, DTH, IPTV and DTT are forecast to be most popular in countries that have low cable penetration. However, DTT roll-out has been slow or delayed in several countries. Thus, governments stated analog switch-off dates often appear to be optimistic. Despite this, DTT is expected to be the primary TV service in 27% of households by 2015. (see Fig. 2). While digital TV is making good progress, there will still be some potential for growth after the forecast period, with Eastern Europe still having 158 million analog homes - 25 million of which will not be receiving multichannel TV signals.
Note: All figures refer to primary services at year-end. Rounding means total may exceed 100%.

Peer-to-peer dominated traffic in 2010 but its share is expected to decrease by 2015. Video to the TV will see strong growth but will remain niche as the region lacks the devices and services to take off. Informa expects that content in the Eastern European countries will be driven by local champions. Video will become one of the most popular services in Eastern Europe, but few users will pay for content. The average user in Eastern Europe will generate 10GB per month, only 2GB less than their counterparts in Western Europe. By 2015, the average Internet users usage will have grown by 200% to almost 29GB (see fig. 4), but the gap between Eastern Europe and Western Europe will have increased to over 20GB per user.
