BT Confirms Plans to Offer Video Content over IP
Andrew Burke, who heads up the new entertainment unit of UK incumbent telco, BT, confirmed that the company is interested in offering at least some form of IPTV service: "We want to be an entertainment facilitator," he told an audience. "We see several opportunities for delivering the type of content that normally broadcasters find it difficult to get to viewers."
Burke explained that BT does not plan to offer a full, multichannel IPTV service, but rather to follow an approach in which a portfolio of IPTV content is offered as a supplement to broadcast or multichannel television (note: such a service would appear to be similar in concept to the one offered by Akimbo in the US).
