M1 set to score on BPL, World Cup turf?
MiBox close to meeting criteria to be eligible to cross-carry exclusive TV content
[SINGAPORE] M1's MiBox is closing in on the 10,000 subscribers needed to be eligible to cross-carry exclusive content such as the Barclays Premier League (BPL) and World Cup matches.
The Business Times has learnt that the M1 Internet TV service - open to everyone including non-M1 customers - has gained 8,000-9,000 household activations since its launch last year.
This places MiBox a hair's breadth from having 10,000 subscribers - one of the criteria for being eligible to cross-carry exclusive content. Under the cross-carriage rule, exclusively obtained content must be made available to qualified competitors to cross-carry upon request.
