The fastest rise will come from IPTV (up 14%), followed by satellite (7%), while cable and terrestrial growth will slow to about 3%. APAC and LATAM are driving the global cable market, adding roughly 13 million subs, while North America is expected to fall 1%. HD subscribers are rising on all platforms. Around 57% of pay-TV subs are expected to be HD by 2019.
