'Sonera offers cable TV services in Helsinki area'
(DMeurope Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Finnish telecommunications operator Sonera has started offering cable TV services to housing estates in the Greater Helsinki Area. The total Sonera Cable TV offering comprises about 120 TV channels, 13 of which are high-definition (HD) channels. Sonera's aim is to gain a 10 percent market share of the Greater Helsinki Area's cable TV market. Sonera's first major customer in the Greater Helsinki Area is the Foundation for Student Housing in the Helsinki Region (Hoas), whose 16,000 residents will become Sonera Cable TV customers by the end of February 2010 at the latest. The agreement covers nearly all the 100 Hoas real property units and raises the number of Sonera's television customers to approximately 190,000 households. Sonera has already been providing Hoas properties with broadband over fibre. At present, Sonera offers cable TV services in about 70 towns and localities in Finland.
