BT outlines its plans for battle with pay-TV rivals
Saeed Shah writes in The Independent Online (UK):
BT has announced plans to enter the television market, putting the telecoms group in direct competition with satellite operator BSkyB and the cable companies.
The dominant telecoms company will offer a new broadband product from autumn next year which will be integrated with a Freeview decoder for picking up the digital terrestrial television signal. It will supplement the Freeview channels with on-demand content, such as movies, plus a "catch-up TV" archive of recent programmes. It will also have a personal video recorder, capable of digitally storing 80 hours.
Ian Livingston, head of BT's retail division, said the service would be open only to the company's broadband customers, currently comprising 2 million households.
