LG Dacom launches IPTV service
LG Dacom, Korea`s third-largest fixed-line operator, yesterday launched the broadband-based internet protocol television, intensifying competition in the market.Now there are three broadband service providers that offer the IPTV service, which they believe will serve as a new growth engine in the almost-saturated telecommunications market.IPTV is expected to bring a major change in television viewing by offering viewers a wide-ranging selection of programs on demand.LG Dacom said its IPTV service, dubbed "myLGtv," is available through a bundled product, which also includes broadband internet access and a telephone service. The broadband service is offered by LG Dacom`s subsidiary, LG Powercom.The company said its packaged product is as much as 15 percent cheaper than those provided by its two rivals - KT and Hanarotelecom, the country`s No.1 and No. 2 fixed-line service provider, respectively.LG Dacom said its new service also provides more high-definition content than its rivals.The company, which started its IPTV service with 3,000 programs, will expand its content into more than 20,000 by the first half of 2008.Its two rivals have already begun preliminary IPTV services, including video-on-demand. Full IPTV, including real-time broadcasting, was unlicensed under Korean law, but after three years of haggling in the National Assembly, it gained parliamentary approval in November.Hanarotelecom is ahead of KT in the IPTV market. Since its inception in 2006, Hana TV has attracted 660,000 subscribers, while dominant fixed-line carrier KT lured 230,000 subscribers to its Mega TV service.KT is the nation`s broadband market leader with 44.5 percent market share and 6.52 million subscribers, followed by Hanarotelecom with 25.2 percent market share and 3.69 million subscribers as of the end of October 2007.LG Telecom has an 11.1 percent market share with 1.62 million subscribers.
