Growth in the pay TV market
Digital IPTV services and multimedia content (video-on-demand, HD content, interactive TV content and internet television) continue to record growth.
IPTV accounts for 45.6% of all TV connections in Slovenia (Q4 2014) and continues to grow. Cable TV is also recording growth in connections, p
rimarily on account of the number of digital connections. At 52.9% (Q4 2014), the Telekom Slovenije Group holds the highest share of the IPTV market. According to AKOS figures, 71.4% of Slovenian households have pay TV (Q4 2014).
According to forecasts by Analysys Mason,
the pay TV market in Western Europe is expected to grow by 21% from 2013 to 2019, with growth in OTT (over-the-top) and IPTV services contributing most to overall growth. Cable TV will remain the leading technology in the pay TV market, although it is expected to decline by 4.4% until 2019. Pay TV household penetration will exceed 64% in Western Europe over the same period.
OTT services for households will grow, primarily as a second TV receiver, as users will wish to reduce TV costs. A total of 3.2% of households in Western Europe will use OTT as their primary receiver by 2019, while 47.7% will use the aforementioned technology as their secondary receiver.

Telekom Slovenije began to fully exploit the regional fibre optic network in 2014, which represents the main link
to subsidiaries, as well as the greatest potential for growth in revenues and margin from international wholesale
data services. The network facilitates a transfer speed of 100 Gb/s and facilitates the implementation of the
broadest possible range of data services, including MPLS functionality"
