What's The Holdup? IPTV Launch Update

Hello everyone,

As you all know Milk River Cable Club was hoping to have our new system launched by now, so where is it? We would like you to know that we have received the infrastructure necessary to begin the launch of the IPTV system! The only thing left delaying the launch is our channel licencing.

But aren’t you already licenced for cable TV?

Yes, we are licenced for cable distribution of these channels however, the new system requires new licences for these same channels we already have on the old system because it is distributed to homes in a new way. We have already received approval for 25 of our channels and 71 more are waiting for a response from the distributor.

Which channels have been approved?

The following is a list of channels which have received approval:

Is there anything else delaying the launch?

In Coutts specifically we are waiting on some brand-new equipment which will more than double the internet currently available to Coutts. These changes will be required for the IPTV system but will also have the added benefit of drastically improving the quality of internet delivered to the community. We have received all the necessary permissions to make these changes from the proper authorities, so do not anticipate further licencing delays. Keep your eyes out for work being done on this as early as February.
