Asia-Pacific video-on-demand channel Anytime has signed a five-year distribution agreement with India's largest broadband provider, India On Line Broadband (IOL), giving 4 million homes in Mumbai and Delhi access to the Anytime VoD movie and interactive games channels by March 2007.
The Anytime VoD movie channel will be the exclusive provider of Hollywood VoD programming in India and will form the cornerstone of the MTNL-IOL and BSNL-IOL IPTV platforms, supported by Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MNTL) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL), respectively.
The Anytime channel is expected to go live in December, making a wide range of Hollywood blockbusters - both new releases and library titles - and interactive games, available on-demand.
