Videotron Test-Drives OTT Model

Canadian operator Videotron (www.videotron.com) is adding paid content to its illico web platform. The service was launched this summer with free live TV and radio. Now, customers can order paid content on the Internet TV service, as on illico on demand. It presently offers more than 3,000 titles, and the catalogue is updated daily and will be expanded steadily in the weeks to come. The platform is also adding DVR-like functions. Users can now pause and resume play and memorize favorites.
