VILNIUS, Lithuania - April 1, 2025 - PRLog -- The End of Satellite Hardware? How SATLINE's Virtual SAT>IP is Powering the Future of IPTV

Satellite TV in Decline
Satellite television once dominated broadcasting, but viewers are now abandoning traditional cable and satellite subscriptions in favor of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and streaming. The global IPTV market—valued at $68.78 billion in 2023—is expected to soar to $276.38 billion by 2032 at a 16.8% CAGR, while satellite and cable providers continue to lose subscribers.

Why IPTV is Taking Over
IPTV delivers TV over the internet, making expensive satellite dishes unnecessary. It also offers on-demand viewing, interactive features, and global access, all of which are hard for traditional TV to match. With scalability and cost efficiency at its core, IPTV can expand services rapidly without heavy infrastructure investments.

Industry Implications
Broadcasters must adapt to internet-based distribution or risk losing market share. Telecom companies grow in influence as they provide the high-speed internet vital for IPTV. Advertising models are evolving, targeting users more effectively. Meanwhile, viewers enjoy personalized content and multi-device access, driving further demand for IPTV. This shift also reduces reliance on costly satellite infrastructure, pressing existing satellite providers to rethink their strategies.
