The global online entertainment market is forecast to expand 21.7% annually over the next four years, with revenues reaching $274 billion by 2007. RHK predicts that new high-quality digital features available through broadband will drive demand for gambling and adult entertainment, which so far broadband has had little effect on. Rapid growth is starting to cut into the traditional entertainment markets, estimated to be worth half a trillion dollars. Because of low barriers to entry, newcomers are inundating the industry and rattling the incumbents.
