100-year-old NY Company Launches their first Local Video Service
TelAve News/10775686
FREDONIA, N.Y. - TelAve -- For the first time in their 124-year history DFT Communications is providing a live local video service for customers in western New York and parts of Pennsylvania.
The 200+ channel streaming service is powered by the Innovative Systems MG-TV solution and the content delivery is hosted on the MVS network. The journey for DFT entering the video business started way back in the mid-1990s but finding a business model that would work based on the cost of the technology needed for deployment just wasn't there, according to Dave Pihl, VP of Operations at the company. Pihl said the advancement of video streaming technology over the past few years offered a more favorable business model for DFT, particularly with the ability to receive hosted content delivered from a national head end. While some companies are looking at video exit strategies, Pihl says competition dictates your approach to the telecommunications business, and video is needed to compete. As has been reported in the past, it is difficult to unbundle video customers for a broadband only service, and for DFT they have strong competition that offers bundled video, broadband, and voice services. "Honestly I don't think we would have gotten into video without the hosted model from Innovative and MVS," according to Pihl.

DFT includes one IS-5041W STB from Innovative Systems with every subscription to their video service, which allows customers to use a full-size remote control and closely resembles an IPTV or Cable TV experience but using unicast live streaming delivery. DFT also allows their video customers access to the service with their consumer streaming devices including Roku and Amazon.
