ACTON, Mass. -- Moscow-based broadband provider Corvette Telecom is launching a new IPTV service that is built on open technology and content services from SeaChange International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEAC - News) and its subsidiary On Demand Group, Ltd. Corvette's rollout demonstrates how operators can easily develop and deliver a complete television package with the modular software, hardware and services of the SeaChange TV Platform, while enjoying the performance of a single, full-service partner with extensive IPTV experience.

Corvette's IPTV service, branded "City TV," will initially provide customers on its 300,000 homes-passed Moscow network with on-demand access to top-rated content, including Hollywood feature films and independent titles as well as music, children's and lifestyle programming.

"Working with one organization to build our IPTV and video-on-demand platform allows us to rapidly and effectively deploy these services with the minimum execution risk," said Dominic Reed, CEO, Corvette Telecom. "This product offering will allow us to continue the rapid growth of our subscriber base and bring a revolution in television viewing to Russia as we roll out the network to one million homes passed over the next two to three years."
