YipTV said it has joined Binge On, T-Mobile’s controversial optional service that delivers mobile video in 480p resolution and  zero-rates the streams of its growing list of OTT partners.

YipTV is a no-contract OTT-TV offering launched last May that’s focused on Spanish-language video and features plans from more than 100 international and domestic live TV channels.

In addition to smartphones, YipTV supports several other streaming platforms, including the Google Chromecast, Web browsers and Apple TV boxes.

“T-Mobile is aligning itself nicely with OTT broadband services and mobile cable operators like us as a result of its new, very flexible approach to data and mobile usage,” said Mike Tribolet, co-founder and CEO of YipTV, in a statement.

YipTV joins a growing list of Binge On partners, including YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, Starz, HBO, Showtime, Vudu, Sling TV, A&E, Lifetime, History, PlayStation Vue, Tennis Channel Anywhere, FuboTV, Kidoodle TV, CuriosityStream, Univision Now and WWE Network, among others.

The FCC is investigating new zero-rated services in relation to the commission’s new open Internet rules.

Another former Vonage exec has joined YipTV, the OTT-TV, no-contract multiplatform service launched last May that’s focused on Spanish-language video services.

YipTV has appointed Louis Holder as chief technology officer, a post that will reunite him with YipTV co-founder and former Vonage president Michael Tribolet. 

“Lou and I worked together during the early days at Vonage,” Tribolet said in a statement. “What an amazing opportunity to work with him again in building another scalable, direct to consumer media-based business.” 

Holder, a former co-founder of Vonage and previously served as president and co-founder of Vonage Mobile, will head up YipTV’s infrastructure efforts to support future growth. 

Before joining YipTV, Holder was CEO of Innovaci, a U.S. based company focused on smart appliance technologies in the health and wellness market sector. He is also late of ooVoo and Narrowstep. Before joining Vonage, Holder was a vice president in the program trading technology group at PaineWebber. 

YipTV said has hooked into with Akamai’s cloud-based platform to deliver an OTT service that features more than 100 "channels," including 18 live TV streams.

Launched in May 2015, YipTV’s no-contract, $14.99 per month service focused on Spanish-language video services is offered on several platforms, including iOS and Android mobile devices, select smart TVs, Web browsers, Apple TV boxes and via the Google Chromecast streaming adapter.

YipTV CIO Giancarlo Paolillo said Akamai’s platform has enabled the OTT service to reduce lag time by acquiring digital signals of the live TV channels it offers close to their origination points while also tapping into analytics that help YipTV monitor audience behaviors and keep video quality in check.

“Subscribers today expect a flawless viewing experience and instant access to high-definition video content on any screen,” said John Bishop, CTO, media, at Akamai, in a statement.  “Delivering OTT video and other content must be seamless, fast and scalable.  Our Media Delivery Solutions are designed to help services like YipTV engage their subscribers by delivering content at the highest possible quality wherever and whenever users want and, further, to scale with the growth and complexity of different types of connected devices.”
