PRIME signs first broadband deal with Sweden's B2 Bredband
成人快手
PRIME, the 成人快手's international entertainment television channel,
has signed its first broadband agreement.
The
deal sees 成人快手 PRIME streamed 24 hours a day on the closed circuit
broadband network offered by B2 Bredband, the Swedish broadband
company. As of today, 成人快手 PRIME is available to the 70,000 subscribers
connected to B2 Bredband's network through their PC.
Charlotte
Repholtz, Head of Sales and Distribution, Channels, 成人快手 Worldwide,
says of the deal, "We are delighted with this new agreement
with B2 Bredband, which is the first of its kind for 成人快手 PRIME.
It opens the door to a new way of distributing TV channels in this
fast moving and very exciting media world - a world where the TV
and the PC seem to be getting closer and closer to real integration."
Simon
Gate, Head of Content, B2 Bredband says, "We are proud and
happy to reach an agreement with 成人快手 PRIME as we launch TV via true
broadband. Without many of the limitations of cable modems and ADSL,
the B2 Bredband network makes distribution of TV in real-time via
broadband a real and viable option. The 成人快手 needs no further introduction
as a first class news and entertainment provider, but through 成人快手
Worldwide they're also an entrepreneurial and pragmatic organisation,
exploring new platforms and distribution channels. As such, it is
only natural for B2 Bredband to want to work with them as we expand
the range of video services via broadband that we offer."
