Swiss Won’t Miss IPTV

Swisscom launched its IPTV service last week, offering more than 100 channels for $23.30 per month.

Switzerland’s leading telco was originally scheduled to launch IPTV in the third quarter of 2005, but the service’s debut was delayed due to issues with the Microsoft TV IPTV Edition set-top software.

“We wanted to offer a mature service, so we worked on it for another year," Swisscom spokesman Christian Neuhaus told AP last week.
