A Profile of Akimbo’s IP-TV Service

Cable Datacom News has a profile of Akimbo, the U.S. IP-TV VOD provider which I wrote about here earlier.

“Despite the company’s marketing pitch, the Akimbo service won’t exactly be video-on-demand (VOD). Subscribers will have to wait for their programming choices to download in real time before they can watch it. Akimbo officials hope to skirt this issue by getting subscribers to spell out their viewing preferences so that the desired content can be downloaded automatically overnight.”

“Company executives insist that their service will deliver far better quality than the herky-jerky streaming video usually seen on the PC because of the spread of broadband connections and home networks.”
