National broadband provider Internode will follow its larger rivals Telstra and iiNet into the brave new world of online entertainment, revealing plans tonight to kick off an internet television trial in late September.
Like iiNet, Internode will resell the fetchtv service, which sees customers use a set-top box to both download content from the company’s servers as well as watching and recording live free to air television in high definition.
“The fetchtv early access trial will let keen customers help Internode to ‘road test’ the service and our support for it, ahead of the doors being opened to all eligible Internode customers later in the year,” said Internode managing director Simon Hackett in a statement.
“We’ve had a lot of interest since we announced our intention to work with fetchtv earlier this year, so we expect this early adopter program to attract strong participation from our customers who are as keen as we are to make this service a wonderful addition to their Internode broadband services.”
For now, Internode customers can register to be part of the trial via the Internode link on fetchtv’s website, with full details to be provided to registered customers when the ISP’s early adopter trial is launched “towards the end of September”.
