Telstra Corporation selects
Netgem to supply set top box device and software for the T-Box service. Telstra is introducing a set top box called T-Box. T-Box for the first time brings Telstra’s content from its BigPond brand along with Australian terrestrial free-to-air high definition and standard definition television channels seamlessly together on a home television.
Capable of downloading movies from Telstra's BigPond Movies store and viewing Telstra's streaming Internet content, BigPond TV, T-Box customers will also have access to the terrestrial free-to-air digital television channels within their region.
Telstra is initially conducting a customer experience trial of T-Box with a few hundred of its customers in the Australian city of Melbourne before launching the product nationally.
