근래 한국 IT 산업의 성장률과 경쟁력은 전반적으로 둔화 추세에 있으며, IT 제조업과 IT 서비스업의 불균형 또한 심각한 수준이다. 특히 IT 서비스업의 세계시장 점유율은 1%에 불과한 실정으로 시장성장 한계, 신규서비스 활성화 미흡, 지출여력 한계 등의 여러 원인이 지적되고 있다. 한편, 이러한 IT 서비스 산업의 성장 한계를 극복하기 위해 '융합(convergence)'이 대두되어 왔으며, IPTV가 방송-통신 융합을 주도하는 핵심적 미디어로 진화하고 있는 중이다. 그러나 IPTV의 기술적 진화가 반드시 시장 확산과 발전을 이끌어 내지는 않을 것이며, 정부규제, 콘텐츠 수급, 고객니즈, 마케팅전략 등 여러 측면에서의 고려가 병행되어야만 한다. 이같은 배경 하에서, 본 연구는 IPTV 결합서비스의 발전방안을 제시하고자 사례연구와 실증연구를 수행하였다. 사례연구 결과, IPTV 서비스가 시장에서 확산되기 위해서는 결합서비스 형태가 바람직하고, 우수 콘텐츠 확보가 요구된다. 실증연구 결과, IPTV 결합서비스 시장은 고객가치를 기준으로 세분화 될 수 있으며, 세분시장별 효과적 마케팅전략을 제안할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 본 연구는 IPTV 결합서비스 관련 주체별로 발전의 저해요인을 분석하고 활성화 방안을 제시하고 있다.
