Granada International has appointed Ting Wai Ho as Sr. Sales Executive for Granada International’s new Hong Kong office. Wong will be working with Granada International’s Regional Director-Asia James Ross on seeking opportunities in VOD and IPTV in India. Also among Wong’s priorities, are Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, Indiantelevision.com reports.
Granada International is a part of ITV Worldwide, and according to its website, it “distributes programmes to over 3,000 broadcasters and home entertainment partners in more than 200 countries worldwide”.
Of course, in case of IPTV in India, we will first have to wait for it to be launched; “Hopefully by October” says Peeyush Agrawal, GM (Broadband Services), MTNL. In case of Mobile TV, there will probably be a year long wait. Wong is likely to first look at Vietnam, where Nokia and VTC are set to launch Mobile TV by the end of the year.
