82% of homes HDTV equipped by 2010


But where is my flying car is the question Kagan Research needs to be answering. That notwithstanding, they've crunched the numbers, pored over the data, called the Psychic Network and come up with a few figures about where high definition TV adoption is going in the next few years.

  • HDTV penetration stood at 10% at the end of 2004 and will increase to 17.5% by the end of 2005

  • 86% of homes had access to HDTV via cable by the end of 2004

  • 3.8 million est. cable HDTV subscribers by the end of 2005, increasing to 30 million by 2010

Other than that that, the report apparently also breaks down the sticky subjects of how much bandwidth your cable/satellite/OTA provider is really using and how new compression techniques will affect that, whether 1080p is justified or not and more. Anyone got a spare $1545.00 so we can buy a copy?
