Cable & Wireless started deploying Pace/C-Cube boxes today................................. internetnews.com Cable & Wireless Signs Up Top Brands for Interactive TV August 13, 1999 Business News Archives British cable company Cable and Wireless Communications Plc said on Friday it had signed up top travel, retail, banking and leisure brands for an online interactive TV service. The group's TV business, which is about to be taken over by rival NTL Inc., will roll out interactive digital TV in Manchester from August 13, and said the line-up of interactive sites will rise to 100 by October. Content providers include supermarket group Tesco, media group Granada, British Airways, listings, classified directories, financial services from the likes of Barclays bank and education service from publishers such as Dorling Kindersley. The deal will cost 9.98 pounds per month for line rental, a basic digital channel pack, 100 minutes of free local calls per month and a digital cable decoder. Via their TV remote control, customers get access a free e-mail account per household, order groceries and have them delivered, find news, sports, weather and holiday information, book flights and cinema tickets, buy financial services and learn online with interactive education, CWC said. "For the first time, digital cable customers will be able to order a wide range of easy-to-use, value-added services which will be informative, engaging and fun," said CWC's Marketing Director Janet Somerville. Britain has become the first country in the world to have digital TV in its three forms following last year's launch of BSkyB's digital satellite service and ONdigital's terrestrial platform. CWC launched digital services in July -- the first of the UK's three cable groups to do so.
