Korea IPTV deal recasts Sony PS3 as set-top box
Korea Telecom will next month connect its IPTV service that will feed shows to Sony's PlayStation 3 games console.
Mega TV launched in June - the same month the PS3 officially went on sale in Korea - this year as a HD-capable revamp of KT's earlier, standard-definition only Megapass internet TV offering. Last month, KT rolled the service out to all of its broadband customers - 5.5m of them - having previously offered the service only to those in Seoul.
Not all of these subscribers also pay for Mega TV - last month, KT said it hopes to grow the IPTV service's subscriber base to 300,000 users by the end of the year, and the deal with Sony should go some way to helping it achieve that target.
