Briefs: Czech's Eesky forming IP television brand
Eesky Telecom is deep into the process of forming an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service for the Czech Republic.
Czech Business Weekly reported Monday that the fixed-line telecom major had eight television and five radio stations signed up for the service, which was pointed to a launch in late June.
A limited test was under way Monday among about 200 Eesky Telecom employees. Once commercially available, the IPTV service will offer major news channels as well as a variety of undisclosed entertainment stations.
The service will run across Eesky's fixed-line infrastructure, which can deliver the necessary broadband access to about 90 percent of its subscriber base.
