Airtel IPTV Launch
With the launch of the IPTV service bundled with Airtel Black Plans, customers can enjoy high-quality digital content via the platform. IPTV is a digital television broadcasting technology that delivers TV content over the Internet rather than through traditional cable, satellite, or over-the-air signals. IPTV uses a private, dedicated network to deliver TV content using Internet Protocol (IP). It allows users to stream live TV channels, on-demand videos, and other multimedia content using an internet connection. Streaming content is delivered in real-time or on demand using streaming protocols.
