According to the Financial Times Deutschland, Deutsche Telekom is nearly ready to launch the T-Home IPTV service on October 17th. The article referenced several people close to the matter.

The T-Home service has become a must-resort option with telephone subscriber loses numbering nearly half a million per quarter. The new service will provide telephone service, around 50 channels in the basic package, a movie download service, and a not-to-shabby VDSL Internet connection at 25 Mbit/s.
