Cogeco

Here are some other stories we didn't have room for in this issue:

VOD technology provider, Concurrent, said Monday that Canada's second-largest MSO, Cogeco Cable, an existing Concurrent customer, has signed a master purchase agreement designating the company as the preferred provider of video technology for its VOD service in all its Canadian markets. According to Concurrent, the multi-year deal supports expansion of and upgrades to Cogeco's existing VOD platform, and makes it possible for the MSO to offer a range of new services to its 400,000 digital subscribers in Quebec and Ontario, including timeshifted TV, network DVR and advanced advertising. "Operators like Cogeco are increasingly under competitive pressure to add more personalized video services," Concurrent president and CEO, Dan Mondor, said in a prepared statement.
