Chello is positioning itself as the don of big-ass bandwidth with their recent press release proclaiming they have 80,000 broadband internet access subscribers in 5 countries across Europe - in France, Belgium, Austria, Norway and The Netherlands.For those not so familiar with ?chello?, they allow cable customers throughout Europe to benefit from via ?m@ximum? internet experience. This broadband connection is an ?always on?, super-fast broadband internet service for a flat fee each month running across AORTA, Europe’s first and largest broadband IP network and the largest European distributed caching service. Near CD quality sound, pin sharp pictures and a full range of global, national and local content partners are offered - all in the language of the country in which the service is offered. So there you go and ?Yes?, you will want to take a big bite of the broadband pie when BT eventually sorts its out for us here in the UK.Mark Schneider, Chairman of chello and CEO and Chairman of UPC [chello?s parent company], said, ” These figures offer graphic proof of how popular chello broadband Internet service is becoming right across Europe. chello is a vital part of UPC’s triple play strategy of offering video, internet and telephony services via the cable network.” Broadband is something we have covering on Ninfomania for sometime now and was something of the buzzword at the recent Streaming Media East conference in Amsterdam I have just returned from speaking at. We are planning a special ?Feature? section of this and other broadband services that are going to change the digital landscape as we know it. Stay tuned.
