SureWest to Launch Internet-Based HDTV Service
An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A company that has linked more than 80,000 Northern California homes to a fiber-optic network plans to launch a TV service that relies on Internet technology to deliver programs, including high-definition shows.
Roseville-based SureWest Communications said it will be the first broadband provider in the nation to deliver commercial HD programming with the technology known as Internet Protocol.
Trials of the services were expected to get under way on Tuesday, with a full commercial rollout expected in November, said Bill DeMuth, SureWest's vice president and chief technology officer.
SureWest said it will be able to deliver 260 video and music channels to its customers — as well as voice and high-speed Internet access. Of those, 15 will be high-definition channels.
