iSky gets bigger with " thePlatform" deal

The news comes from thePlatform which announced on Monday evening that it has been selected by New Zealand pay-TV provider, Sky Television. iSky, which is a Sky broadband TV service required backend video management and thePlatform has been selected for the same reason. thePlatform provides a number of services such as catch up movies and TV episodes, Video on demand (VOD), movie and TV episodes rental calculated on pay-per-view basis along with their live streaming channels like CNN, Sky News New Zealand and Sky Sports. Sky subscribers will be able to access all of these services on their existing TV packages.

John Fellet, the CEO for Sky television says the selection of "thePlatform" was made due to their intensive knowledge in the broadband TV sector and also because "thePlatform" will effectively be able to provide the required service to their New Zealand subscribers. Mr. Fellet also added that the new deal gets them closer to their motive of providing seamless entertainment to their customers.

The choice was also in the favor of "thePlatform" as they make use the mpx video format. And the mpx video format increases the flexibility and reliability of the videos making sure that the subscribers get the desired video each time they login to their iSky broadband television. It also gives better viewing in terms of HD videos.

And to make it even better Sky has tied up Internet Service providers like Farmside, Orcon, Slingshot, Xnet, Vodafone, Woosh, WIZwireless and Snap. Their tie up with these ISP's would mean that the customers would be able to enjoy unlimited iSky streaming from their respective ISP provider. It can’t get better now that I watch all the seasons of my favourite TV show friends over my Sky broadband without worrying on my broadband usage. This would just mean unlimited entertainment.
