Is free internet TV over broadband the next big thing?

Sick of hearing broadband providers harp on about speeds and contention ratios? Magnet chief executive, Mark Kellett, has said providers should offer something different and, true to his word, today the company introduced free, live IPTV to PCs on 10Mbps and 24Mbps connections.
Magnet has created a basic free package of five TV channels including RTÉ, RTÉ2, TV3, TG4 and Bubble Hits. The package includes 12 free radio stations that will come as part of a choice of broadband and phone packages starting at €29.99.
Magnet said it intends to broaden the offering by including additional bundles of channels, such as those provided by Virgin and Dave, for an additional subscription fee.
