Echostar Scores first VIP-TV Customer
It was once said in the popular movie Field of Dreams “if you build it, they will come.” Well the folks at Echostar have built it and today it was announced that the customers are coming.
Today Echostar announced that it h as signed up its first customer for its new VIP-TV service. That customer is Canby Telcom who is a telecommunications provider serving 8,000 customers in Oregon.
With the addition of Echostar’s VIP-TV Canby Telcom will be able to offer its customers a competitive triple play service with a bundle of broadband Internet, telephone service and digital television services.
Echostar’s VIP-TV service can deliver 250 channels of MPEG-4 encoded IP streams including over 40 high definition channels from a satellite located at the 85-degree orbital location.
I would expect more announcements like this over the next few weeks as Echostar’s main competition SES Americom’s IP-Prime service announced earlier this year that it was ceasing it’s IP video transport service on July 31st of this year.
