Digital World-11: "BSNL to Launch IPTV"

BSNL Chennai is launching shortly IPTV (Internet Protocol Television). It will provide a package of 140 major news and entertainment channels of various languages to start with. This service would gradually be extended to other telecom circles.

IPTV is expected to transform the televiewing experience for broadband users. For instance, broadband users could enjoy much greater freedom, versatility and interactivity with IPTV compared to basic television.

An exciting prospect of IPTV is that the user would be able to use a PVR, an interactive electronic device to record television shows in a digital format for viewing later.

Based on the article "BSNL to launch IPTV in Chennai" by M.Dinesh Varma in The Hindu, Madurai, February 16, 2009.
