Qwest Communications International Inc. is phasing out Choice TV,and offering to convert their existing customers to their DirecTV resale product in 2 markets.The markets mentioned consist of 1 in Arizona and 1 in Colorado.
Choice TV was launched by Qwest in 1998 in the 2 markets.It is arguably the first true commercial deployment of telco TV in the U.S.
The original telco TV platform was built on ATM,unlike the IP plays of today,and utilized VDSL.The deployments were limited to one market in Arizona,and an additional smaller market in Colorado.At their peak,they had approx. 50,000 subscribers.
