Internet and phone company Orcon plans to attack Sky Television's customer base by delivering programmes over the internet via super-fast broadband to television sets once Telecom opens its network to competitors next year.

Orcon regulatory manager Scott Bartlett said it was pitching to a market segment who were "not necessarily totally nuts about watching the rugby live" but still wanted high-definition quality television delivered by broadband - known as IPTV.

Go Orcon with this one..

I got caught out with this one ........... it looks like an old article from November 2006.

Damn, it feels like we are caught up in the dark ages at times.

Sadly, it looks like I wont be with Orcon when they finally decide to start there IPTV service.

As they are costing me to much to keep going with me, thats why i'm switching to a better/cheaper provider (One that doesn't charge $10 for 5GB but something more reasonable like $10 = 10GB))

But there is one thing I can be sure of is that soon after I leave orcon they will release cheaper plans and the IPTV, that always happens with me :(
