Internode says it will offer access to its FetchTV IPTV service to "a select group of keen Internode customers using its Extreme or NakedExtreme ADSL2+ services," by the end of September.

The service was launched by iiNet in July. Participation in Internode's early adopter programme will be at the normal 'rental' price for the service, $99 setup and $29.95 per month, including supply of the STB.

A 'Lite' version of the FetchTV service, offering a subset of the programming at a lower cost and wider geographic availability, will become available about a month after launch of the early adopter programme.

Internode customers can register their interest via the Internode link on the FetchTV home page at www.fetchtv.com.au. Internode says full details about the programme will be provided to registered customers when the early adopter trial is launched.

Internode managing director Simon Hackett said: "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.

"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.
