MONTREAL – Colba.Net Telecom is expanding its new Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service. The move follows CRTC approval of its the application for a broadcasting regional licence to operate a Class 1 terrestrial broadcasting distribution undertaking in Montreal, Drummondville, Trois-Rivières, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, and in the surrounding areas of Quebec.
The Commission has also recently approved its licences to operate terrestrial broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) in Ontario, BC, the Maritimes and across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
It says its new IPTV service will offer several high definition (HD) channels, including some of the most popular American and Canadian channels.
"Once again we are thrilled and proud to expand this new IPTV service to new communities in Quebec. Our whole business model, core corporate values and reputation are based upon offering the best possible products and services at unbeatable prices. We strongly believe that both the industry and consumers stand to greatly benefit from increasing competition in our fast growing industry sector. By offering IPTV service, Colba.Net is now a player in the big league of telecom providers and cable distributors" said Joseph Bassili, President and Chief Executive Officer of Colba.Net.
