Nepal Telecom has launched IPTV service through Fiber to the Home (FTTH) brand in NT TV for the first time in Karnali since Sunday. Telecom Surkhet, which has been providing voice and data from FTTH service, has also launched ‘NT TV’ service from Birendranagar.
Anant Prakash Mallik, Director, Telecom Karnali Provincial Directorate, said that the launch of NT TV service was a success in providing voice, internet, and television services from a single cable.
He said that this service is effective for the customers as triple play (voice, high-speed internet, IPTV, and video) services can be provided through an optical fiber.
Tariffs can be paid or recharged through various means on landlines operated using FTTH technology just like the landlines currently in use. Customers using voice, data, or both services through FTTH service should contact the office of Nepal Telecom to get NT TV service.
This service of Telecom has been expanded to 42 districts. Telecom technicians are confident that the expansion of NT TV will help the state government in its campaign to establish digital Karnali.
Telecom has provided telephone, internet, and TV simultaneously through fiber along with a fourth-generation mobile service in Karnali. Telecom’s provincial director Mallik said the company was working to expand its state-of-the-art information technology network by converting traditional copper-based telephone and ADSL services into optical fiber-based FTTH services.
Chief of the Telecom Surkhet Office, Santosh Sharma, pledged to focus on maintenance and continuity along with the expansion of the FTTH service, which will provide three types of services from the same fiber, which is in high demand among the people. In Surkhet, the number of customers of Telecom’s Fiber to the Home 9FTTH service has reached around 6,000.
“We are working towards the goal of ‘One House, One Fiber Connection’,” said Sharma, head of the Surkhet office. “Telecom’s NTV service will help maintain the urban beauty.” Meanwhile, the telco on Sunday honored Amrit Bahadur Rana, the first customer of NTTV service in Birendranagar-10 Khajura.
