New IPTV development centre

Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom is partnering with Microsoft to launch an IPTV Ecosystem Development Centre in Taiwan. Chunghwa will act as systems integrator and will conduct research and development. Other Taiwanese firms expected to participate include set-top box (STB) supplier Tatung, which has already been contracted by Chunghwa to supply 50,000 units for its new multimedia-on-demand (MOD) service.
