Smart TVs have overtaken traditional
televisions in Italy, according to a report by research
institute Censis and Auditel, the company that compiles the
nation's viewing figures.
This year there are a total of 21 million Smart TVs in Italy's
homes, compared to 20.5 traditional sets, said the report, which
is entitled The New Television Italy and was presented in the
Senate on Tuesday.
If one counts traditional TVs with devices that connect them to
the web, the number of 'smart TVs' rises to 22.8 million.
The report said the proportion of households with TVs that can
be connected to the Internet is 64%, up from 34.9% in 2017.
It said 700,000 households, 2.8% of the total and home to 1.4
million people, do not have any TVs at all.
The report added that Italian families have a total of 50.6
million smartphones.
