Deutsche Telekom, Europe’s biggest telecommunications group, has picked Microsoft’s software to power its next generation IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) service due to launch initially in 10 German cities beginning in mid-year.
They will be offering it through their ISP T-Online over their hi-speed Internet service.
Microsoft is gaining increasing traction from their IPTV software service and now boast deal/trials with many of the worlds leading telco's including AT&T, Telecom Italia, BT and about 10 others.
And some of their contracts are huge. AT&T's is reputed to be worth $400M. Microsoft's IPTV solution is finally taking off, after many years of little success.
The wide availability of hi-speed data networks to the home has proven to be the trigger for Microsoft's newfound success in the all vital Internet TV sector. They could even become a leader now. That's the prize for them pioneering and then not giving up.
