Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) aims to offer more than 30 channels through its HyppTV Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service by year-end from 22 channels currently.
"We are negotiating with content providers and hope more than 30 contents by year-end," its executive vice-president of consumer, Jeremy Kung, told a media briefing today.
Kung also urged local content providers to use the IPTV platform as an avenue to showcase their contents, adding that the government has put in seed money to help them establish their contents.
HyppTV was launched on March 24 together with TM's high-speed broadband (HSBB) service, UniFi.
HyppTV is available to all UniFi HSBB residential customers as part of its triple-play offering comprising phone, IPTV and high-speed Internet services on a basic, premium and pay-per-view of video-on-demand (VoD) package basis.
Kung said UniFi subscribers currently enjoyed 22 free linear TV channels and more than 20 exciting new VoD titles, refreshed every month as a value-added service.
"We are excited about HyppTV's potential reach in conjunction with UniFi's service expansion to more areas, and TM will be ramping up efforts to woo more customers," Kung said.
Kung said TM expected six to eight per cent of the 750,000 premises to be connected to UniFi by year-end and to become the subscribers of HyppTV.
Currently, TM has 5,000 UniFi customers.
The HyppTV is offered via the residential packages -- VIP5 at RM149 per month, VIP10 at RM199 per month and VIP20 at RM249 per month. -- BERNAMA
