Competition intensifies in pay TV
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While O2 ponders whether its IPTV service will appeal to UK users, Orange has rolled out its TV platform in London and Leeds ahead of a nationwide launch in the first half of next year. Three hundred paying customers will trial the service over the coming months and will be able to access content from suppliers including MGM and Disney. The mobile phone companies' plans mean that the pay TV market is going to become even more competitive with Sky, Virgin, Tiscali and BT already battling for customers. Competition in the market will be under the spotlight this week when Ofcom publishes its assessment of the sector.
