Video quality is main reason for IPTV churn, MRG study discovers
A survey conducted by Multimedia Research Group, Inc. (MRG) - and
commissioned by IP video quality assurance vendor Symmetricom, Inc -
suggests video quality is critical to the growth and success of IPTV,
significantly affecting customer support calls and customer churn. The
survey was limited in scope (IPTV executives from 12 North American
Tier One and Tier Two telcos) but, if representative of the IPTV sector
as a whole, it suggests a lack of proactive quality control, since most
(90pc) of the respondents were notified about service quality problems
from subscriber calls.
