58% of TVs sold in Germany in 2013 have internet connections

"Nearly six in 10 of all TV sets sold in Germany during 2013 are connected – and that is expected to rise to seven in 10 before year-end, new research says.
Research by GfK for industry association BITKOM, reports that 58% of all sets sold this year are smart. This is expected to rise to 70% of all new TV sets sold before the end of the year, GfK says.
This is a sharp rise on 2012’s figure of 47%.
The increase means that every third German household (30%) is expected to have a smart TV by the second half of the year."
