The number of IPTV subscribers is increasing fast. It exceeded 9M in March 2014, and reached 9.2M a month later. This was an increase of 150,000 a month on average. With this growth rate, it is expected to exceed 10M this year. As the competition among IPTV, cable and satellite operators was getting tougher, they began UHD service in an effort to prevent subscriber churn and attract new subscribers. The service was launched by the cable operators and SK Broadband, in April. And KT and LG U+ are scheduled to begin the service by the end of this year.

Growth in Korea’s IPTV market has been mostly driven by KT. As of April 2014, the company has 5.2M IPTV subscribers, which is 56.4% Of the country’s total. IPTV operators in the market are in fierce competition with each other as well as with cable operators.
