Blockbuster movies such as Avatar have introduced hundreds of millions of people to the thrill of 3D. Now, more and more viewers want that same experience in the comfort of their living rooms.
Some analysts predict that close to 80 million 3D TV sets will be sold by 2015 - remarkable given that they were launched only at the beginning of this year. Total revenues are expected to top USD 60 billion within five years.

Broadcasters and operators at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Show in Las Vegas on April 12-15 will learn how Ericsson's new solution for both direct-to-home (DTH) and contribution and distribution of 3D content will allow them to meet viewers' demands.
