Taiwan's Far EasTone Telecommunications Co. Ltd. is keen to engage and learn from other carriers as it embarks on its video services strategy.
The carrier's VP of business development and multimedia services, Roger Chen, says Far EasTone is about to embark on an initial test of IPTV services, with some receiving the trial service across a DSL line and others over a WiMax connection.
But to get the lowdown on what it should do in telco TV -- and how -- Chen wants to engage with "carriers like PCCW and France Telecom SA," rather than vendors, especially as he wants to source a single system that can provision video services over fixed and wireless connections.
