Wanadoo have been busy today!!
After announcing the
widely leaked new ADSL services, Eric Adensur, CEO of the newly named
Wanadoo, unveiled plans to offer TV services and VoIP over broadband.
Although these services are nothing new, they are novel in the fact that
users won't need a computer to access them. Mr Adensur said that they hope to
launch a "home gateway" box which would connect to game consoles, TV sets and
other electronic equipment, which in turn would be connected to the ADSL line.
Also users would be able to plug in existing phones into the box to take
advantage of VoIP phone calls, which are much cheaper than BT's standard rates.
The new TV service service is planned to start in the summer, with the VoIP
following in the winter, although he admitted that they haven't been engaged in
serious discussions with film and content providers as yet.
