State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has partnered with City Online Media Private Limited to launch its IPTV (internet protocol television) services for fibre broadband customers. BSNL’s IPTV services will be provided under the Ulka TV brand owned by City Online Media.
BSNL customers in the Andhra Pradesh (AP) circle will start receiving access to over 1,000 TV channels along with their broadband connection. Customers won’t need separate connections for TV and broadband anymore.
BSNL broadband customers (existing and new) will now be able to avail the IPTV services from BSNL and City Online Media. BSNL is one of the largest internet service providers (ISPs) in the nation, and IPTV services are mostly better in quality because they are delivered over fibre instead of satellite signals.
The benefit of IPTV is that users can stream the content/live TV channels on both TV and smartphones. Ulka TV has separate applications for mobile and TV to enable customers to watch content on different devices.
