EIRCOM HAS LAUNCHED a new television service which places the firm in direct competition with Sky and UPC.
Similar to its rivals, the product – entitled eVision – offers packages of television channels with add-on options such as Sky Sports, Sky Movies and Setanta Sports.
The basic package includes 34 stations and costs €10 per month.
New customers who sign up before the end of this year will receive the first half-year free of charge.
Speaking after a demonstration of the new service, Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte welcomed Eircom’s decision to enter the market.
“The new television service the company is launching today is a good illustration of the benefits that this investment can bring,” he said. “This innovation should provide more choice for TV consumers, more competition driving down prices and a boost in demand for broadband services that are becoming available.”
