Siol Offers TV Service to ADSL Subscribers
Ljubljana, Sep. 18
Slovenia's largest Internet services provider, Siol, has moved into the area traditionally dominated by cable companies. The ISP has unveiled a new service called Siol TV, which will give broadband subscribers access to 110 TV channels. For EUR 14 per month, subscribers will get a set top box and access to the 110 channels on a bandwidth of 4 Mbit/s. Siol claims that the quality of transmission is equal to DVD. Initially, the new package will only be available in Ljubljana. By the end of the year, it should be introduced in other major cities. Siol is in 100% ownership of Telekom Slovenije, which is in majority ownership of the state.
