After O2 has announced it's planning an IPTV service rival Orange has now said that it's service will not arrive as planned.

The Orange service was planned to appear sometime in 2007, but now Orange have admitted it will be available sometime in 2008, and it could still be six to twelve months away. One reason touted it that as the market is still in it's infancy there hasn't been a major take-up among consumers, this means that the project isn't at the top of Orange's 'to do' list.
