Videotron Claims It's Canada’s First Telecom Provider To Bow Ultra HD Set-top

Videotron is Canada’s first telecom provider to release an Ultra HD set-top box across its entire service area, the company said in a Tuesday announcement. Videotron plans to launch an Ultra HD content service by the end of the summer, it said. Videotron hopes its move into Ultra HD will serve as a “catalyst” for the development of an Ultra HD “ecosystem” in Canada “and spur all the players in the distribution chain to follow suit, from the movie studios and post-production facilities to the broadcasters," it said.
