No IPTV war with Maxis’ entry

KUALA LUMPUR: There will not be an immediate war in Internet protocol television (IPTV) when Maxis Bhd steps in with its IPTV offering as part of its multi-play services at the end of this month, analysts said.

However, they said there was no doubt that Maxis would have to wrestle with incumbent Telekom Malaysia Bhd's (TM) UniFi high-speed broadband service. UniFi is offered in three packages comprising triple-play services of high-speed Internet, video (IPTV) and phone.
