"IPTV will become a flagship application on China Telecom's Vnet this year. The nation's largest fixed line operators are about to begin a national marketing campaign to promote IPTV in all major cities. With IPTV broadband users can watch edited TV programs or VOD on PC or through set-top box. China Telecom has an ongoing commercial IPTV pilot in Shanghai with Shanghai Media Group (SMG), a local cable TV operator. Preliminary results show video will become "the most attractive" service for broadband users. One estimate puts IPTV users to 100 million by 2008 and 40 billion yuan (US$4.8 billion) in revenue."
