USTelematics released a revenue-producing affiliate agreement today with
Netflix. Users of USTelematics’ Voyager Automotive Mobile IPTV, while using Voyager connected to the Internet, will become able to order DVDs for play on Voyager in areas of limited wireless coverage. The Netflix library consists of over 100,000 movie and video titles for physical delivery, either to home or a vacation destination.
Voyager offers many features to families on the road including a GPS-based gas price finder linked to MSN Autos Gas Price Finder from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and live TV programming from several sources, wirelessly, while in motion. USTelematics CEO Howard Leventhal said, “We are frequently asked about the presence or absence of wireless broadband EVDO data coverage in certain areas and the related effects on Voyager’s ability to deliver live video reliably. While well over two thirds of the U.S. population is covered by EVDO, there are some travel destinations that are not – like the bottom of the Grand Canyon for example. Voyager has built-in DVD and hard drives. In areas of limited wireless coverage, it’s easy to just pop in a DVD movie and keep the kids entertained without interruption using Voyager on the road."
