IP-based, end-to-end networking service provider, UTStarcom, Inc, has announced a three-year contract through its partnership with AKSH Optifibre Ltd, to deploy its RollingStream end-to-end IPTV solution with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) in India. The contract represents the first commercial IPTV deployment in India, making AKSH Optifibre Ltd, the first company to launch IPTV in India. The service, which will utilize MTNL's existing broadband network as the content delivery backbone, will consist of traditional broadcast television, video and music-on-demand, video conferencing capabilities and time-shifted TV, allowing users to access television content on any channel up to one week in the past. All MTNL broadband subscribers in Delhi and Mumbai will have access to the service, which launched in December 2006. RSP Sinha, chairman and managing director at MTNL said, "Consumers have come to expect sterling services that are both innovative and affordable from MTNL. We take the lead, yet again, in ushering in a true revolution in home entertainment with the country's first IPTV service. IPTV provides an interactive viewing experience and allows for multitude of exciting revenue generating applications to be deployed. Our existing presence in more than four million homes in New Delhi and Mumbai through our broadband service will give MTNL a tremendous head start in changing the way people watch television." Sinha also said that MTNL hopes to attract a large number of our broadband subscribers to its IPTV, pricing the basic level of service at Rs. 125. The state owned telecom plans to drive revenue growth through the additional value-added services, like time-shift capabilities and video-on-demand, enabled by UTStarcom's RollingStream. UTStarcom's RollingStream is an end-to-end solution designed for telecommunications operators and broadband service providers to deliver broadcast quality TV and on-demand entertainment programming over IP networks. The service is already established in China and Japan. |
