MTNL To Provide Phone, Cable And Broadband On Single Line From This Month

The Economic Times: State-run telco MTNL is all set to start its triple play services this month. It will launch 3-in-1 services (phone, cable TV and broadband) on a single phone line this month and has tied up with Mumbai-based Time Internet Broadband as a content provider.

“We shall start the services this month. The content provider will offer video-on-demand and such required services. There will be a virtual convergence of voice, data and video,” MTNL CMD R S P Sinha said.

He said that MTNL is authorised to offer cable TV services as it already has a cable license. As far as operational part is concerned the content provider Time Internet Broadband will be executing it.
ime Internet Broadband has already installed content delivery mechanism network at exchange levels both in Delhi and Mumbai, Sinha said and exuded confidence that the entire system would be in place within this month. A revenue share has been fixed between MTNL and Time Internet Broadband, Sinha said but declined to give details.
I did a Google search of Time Broadband, no details. Is it part of The Times Of India Group?
