Russia ended 2015 with 2015 with 5.52 million IPTV subscribers, a 20.2% increase on the total a year earlier.
At the same time, according to figures produced by TMT Consulting and quoted by ComNews, the total number of pay-TV subscribers in the country increased by 3.7% to 39.4 million, compared to an 8.6% rise in 2014.
IPTV was the fastest growing pay-TV segment in 2014, while last year, in absolute terms, the increase in the IPTV subscriber base matched that in the satellite TV one.
In Moscow, IPTV accounted for 48% of new pay-TV connections in 2015 thanks largely to the new MGTS GPON fibre-optic network.
Rostelecom accounted for the majority of IPTV connections in Russia as a whole, gaining 0.6 million to reach 3.3 million at the end of last year.
Although cable remains the most popular way to receive pay-TV services in Russia, accounting for 46% of connections and followed by satellite (40%) and IPTV (14%), it is starting to IPTV, losing 1.5% of its subscriber base in 2015.
