Deutsche Telekom is planning to start offering 3D content on-demand on its IPTV service ‘T-Home Entertain’ from early September, according to a company spokesperson speaking at a press event in Hamburg. The new content will be launched during the international consumer electronics fair IFA held in Berlin in September. At first only 3D movies will be offered, but the telco has already started discussions with the national football association DFL and hopes to add Bundesliga games at a later date, according to the telco.

The service, which will come installed on Web-enabled devices from several consumer electronics manufacturers, would not only thrust the retailer into the online video space with tech companies such as Google Inc., Netflix Inc., Amazon.com or Apple Inc., but also into competition with cable and satellite TV companies that are banking on their own video on-demand and pay-per-view services.

If it comes to fruition, Project Canvas should be available to all ISPs that want it, offering a range of on-demand services through broadband Internet and a television set. All content will be in one place without any subscription required, so in effect anybody with a broadband connection will be able to use it. Comments are closed |
