Europe is leading the market and has higher subscriber numbers than the previous forecast. Prospects for IPTV in Asia have improved and have resulted in a higher forecast. There has been a significant delay in AT&T's IPTV deployment in the U.S. that is pulling the North American forecast down significantly.
