StarHub partners Netflix to offer streaming service

STARHUB is partnering Netflix to offer the latter's streaming service to its Fibre TV customers, days after Singtel signed a similar deal with Netflix.

StarHub said that its customers will be able to access Netflix through their set-top boxes by the second quarter of this year, and will able to pay for their subscriptions via their StarHub bills.

"This partnership with Netflix allows us to deliver convenience to all our customers who are fans of this popular service," said StarHub chief marketing officer Howie Lau. "Mobile and Broadband customers will enjoy a smoother streaming experience due to our Open Connect partnership. Fibre TV customers will also enjoy a seamless viewing experience as Netflix will be directly integrated into their set-top boxes, making StarHub TV the only stop for the entire family's entertainment needs."

More information will be made available at a later date, StarHub added.
