Looking for whitelabel IPTV provider
Hello, I have an opportunity to deliver FTTH to about 800 homes in local small town. I?m looking for someone to provide TV service to the residents (RF overlay or IPTV). Does anyone know of a white label provider that can deliver service in Massachusetts? I can pick it up in Boston (1 Summer, 230 Congress or 300 Bent). 800 homes is not enough for me to justify building my own head-end, hoping I can wholesale off someone else?s head end. Thanks -Matt -- Matthew S. Crocker President Crocker Communications, Inc. PO BOX 710 Greenfield, MA 01302-0710 E: matthew at crocker.com P: (413) 746-2760 F: (413) 746-3704 W: http://www.crocker.com
Matt, Did you mean to send this to the VoiceOps list? This list is mainly for VoIP, not IPTV. You will probably have better luck on NANOG list. I have heard Skitter TV has an option. On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 12:42 PM, Matthew Crocker <matthew at corp.crocker.com> wrote:

Colton, Yes I meant to send it to the VoiceOps list. I know many are members are CLECs and some have TV solutions already. Not sure if NANOG is the right list either. Skitter TV looks interesting by the channel line-up is horrible. I?m looking for something that can stand in for regular TV. Channel surfing and all that. Roku & AppleTV is a clear winner for the long term. Many older residents don?t have the tech savvy to configure a roku and figure it out. They want to turn on the TV and hit channel up/down Thanks -Matt -- Matthew S. Crocker President Crocker Communications, Inc.

Matt, The channel lineup on Skitters website is not accurate those are only the channels the content providers allow them to display on their website. An example of a company that is using Skitter and their channel lineup that includes ESPN and similar channels: http://sentco.net/shop-snc/skitter-tv/channel-listing On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 2:23 PM, Matthew Crocker <matthew at corp.crocker.com> wrote:

Matthew, The hard part is actually the content agreements -- I'd suggest starting with the NCTC or NRTC (http://www.nrtc.coop/pub/us/video/). In terms of the video, I'd suggest looking at Vubiquity: http://www.vubiquity.com/service-providers/linear-ppv Frank -----Original Message----- From: VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Crocker Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 12:42 PM To: VoiceOps Subject: [VoiceOps] Looking for whitelabel IPTV provider Hello, I have an opportunity to deliver FTTH to about 800 homes in local small town.

A nearby co-op telco, around your size or maybe a little bit larger, is using HITS http://www.hits.com for their TV services. Last time I talked to them about a year ago it was an RF overlay downstream, no return. Physical plant is FTTH for their entire service area. On Sep 4, 2014, at 1042, Matthew Crocker wrote:

I was to looking for a solution like this but there are way to many gotcha?s. The easiest and cheapest solution will be is reselling dish or direct. We where looking for a similar solution but then locals where brought up you will have to encode your own, then hbo and turner don?t like these setups so you?ll have to setup your own large dish?s to pull these down. We ended up going with a full blown IPTV solution running minerva middleware with vubiquity channel lineups. You will have to get your nrtc contracts in place ect.
