Qwest Faces Opposition to IPTV in Colorado

Denver-based telcom Qwest is facing opposition from city council members in its attempt to bring IPTV to Broomfield, a Colorado community, reports the Rocky Mountain News.

Local officials have qualms about IPTV's availability, which is limited to areas with a reported higher likelihood of affording the service. They also believe IPTV isn't quite ready to cater to even those customers, and are dissatisfied with the slow roll-out of its high speed DSL service in the area.

Through the service, Qwest can deliver two HD TV signals coupled with Internet service at download speeds of 5 to 7 megabits/second, about four times faster than standard DSL. Residents can also watch different channels on three separate TVs using one set-top box for the same home.
