Hyderabad, March 22: The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s (BSNL) which delayed the launch of the full-fledged Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) service in the city has now deferred it by another six months.
The IPTV services were to be launched in Hyderabad last year. The delay was because the BSNL was searching for a content partner even as the purchase process for the equipment required for downloading signals and distribution is underway.
IPTV allows users to get television programmes through their broadband Internet connection. Currently, we are receiving television signals in India through cable lines. IPTV will give the user a lot of flexibility than the cable TV. Television viewing can become highly interactive and personalised.
However, the tariff of IPTV subscription from BSNL is likely to be highly competitive to grab a sizeable share in the market and preempt users from subscribing to new players.
BSNL planned to release 3.3 million broad band connections in urban areas and two million-plus connections in the rural areas.
