Video quality is main reason for IPTV churn, MRG study discovers
February 26, 2008 - 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 (90%) of the respondents were notified about service quality problems from subscriber calls.
