The German firm is joining other telcos in offering video, voice and data over IP using Microsoft systems
Deutsche Telekom has announced it will use Microsoft software to power internet-based television services.
Deutsche Telekom plans to offer high-definition television, as well as voice and data services using the Internet Protocol, and said it would be one of the first to offer such “triple-play” services.
The system is expected to be available in time for the football World Cup later this year.
IPTV is becoming increasingly popular amongst network operators. Thirteen companies are said to be trialling Microsoft’s IPTV software, and BT announced details of its Vision service earlier this week.
BT said that it would launch its service this autumn, and announced a number of content partners, including BBC Worldwide, National Geographic and Paramount. Users will need a set-top box to access the programming.
