Amino has acquired AssetHouse Technologies, the on-demand entertainment services provider behind the BT Vision offering. The acquisition of AssetHouse will enable Amino to build on existing relationships with telecommunication providers and broaden the range of technologies to IPTV service operators of all sizes.
In addition to the acquisition, Amino has announced the appointment of Andrew Burke as CEO. Previously, Burke was Chief Executive Officer of BT Entertainment, where he devised and ran the company's IPTV initiative (BT Vision), pioneered their Digital Media Services and led their relationships with the media world.
The deal will see Amino continue its strategy of innovation, and is underpinned by the growth in the emerging market for online video services. “As the market for IPTV matures, technology is opening the door for telecoms companies to maximize opportunities through better services, targeted content and greater choice,” said Burke.
