Telecom service provider SaskTel has teamed with
software provider iMagicTV to deliver voice, video and data over
DSL services to more than 80,000 households in Regina, Canada.
SaskTel will use iMagicTV's Media Manager software to deliver
its service package, dubbed Max Interactive Services, which encompasses
DSL Internet access and interactive television services. Subscribers
will receive unlimited high-speed Internet on a television and
a computer, four e-mail addresses, more than 20 digital TV stations,
30 music channels and Saskatchewan AM and FM radio stations.
"The use of iMagicTV's Media Manager means SaskTel has the
operations and administrative tools to effectively build, manage
and deliver its Max service," says Gerry Pond, CEO of iMagicTV.
By the end of the year, SaskTel plans to offer this service to
several urban centers in Saskatchewan-Saskatoon, Yorkton, Prince
Albert, North Battleford, Estevan, Weyburn, Swift Current and
Moose Jaw.
