GERMANTOWN, Md. -- Telkonet, (Amex: TKO - News), the leader in providing in-building broadband access over existing electrical wiring, announced today that they have begun deployment to beta customers and testing of its Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service in New York City. IPTV is a method of distributing television content over IP that enables a more user-defined, on-demand and interactive experience. The NuVisions IPTV service delivers traditional cable TV programming and enables subscribers to surf the Internet, receive on-demand content, and perform a host of Internet-based functions via their TV sets.

The NuVisions IPTV service will deliver a host of bundled services such as television, Internet, and telephone service over the NuVisions' gigabit network that connects the properties it serves in a redundant gigabit ring within New York City - a virtual fiber optic network in the air. NuVisions also plans to add more channels and features, such as video-on-demand, movies, games and interactive content, to the service when fully deployed. With NuVisions' IPTV service, subscribers can use the television via remote controls and wireless keyboards to watch TV programs, surf the Internet, communicate with building services, and shop with neighborhood vendors or national retailers.

"We are excited to be the first provider of IPTV services in the New York City market, bridging the gap between the television and computer as entertainment, information and communication devices. With this new IPTV offering, the new age of digital convergence is upon us," stated Frank Matarazzo, President of NuVisions.
