Oz Seven, Intel firm PC deal
New venture will broadcast to consumers' personal computers
Seven expects the venture, trading as Intercast, to offer free-to-air advertiser-funded services this year via an Intel TV tuner card, which Seven will exclusively sell for about A$150.
"Seven Online complements our broadcast TV business and will significantly broaden opportunities for the distribution of our programming and information software," said Seven topper Gary Rice.
The deal comes just weeks after the launch of Ninemsn, a A$50 million Internet content service operated as a joint venture between Microsoft and Kerry Packer's Nine Network and ACP Publishing.
