BT's Microsoft IPTV Video On Demand
Posted: 29th Jun, 2005 By: MarkJ
BT has chosen Micro$oft's IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service as the one for its broadband based video on demand (VoD) product. Trials are expected early next year, with a commercial rollout to follow in the summer (2006):
The delivery method will involve connecting a set-top-box loaded with Microsoft's IPTV software into a BT broadband Internet connection. Although BT has indicated that it plans to complement existing TV platforms such as DSAT and DTT, its focus on video-on-demand services will bring it into direct competition with digital cable providers; NTL and Telewest are currently in the process of rolling out VOD services on their networks.
It's still early days and thus information appears to be scarce. More @ DigitalSpy.
