The Croatian telco Iskon has launched a new IPTV service.
Known as Iskon.TV, it is available in nine cities including Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Pula and Osijek, offering subscribers three packages.
The first, Iskon. TRIO Start, includes 40 TV channels, 60 minutes of phone calls and internet access at speeds of up to 3 Mbps and costs KN209 (€28.4) a month.
The second, Super Iskon.TRIO, includes unlimited calls and 5 Mbps internet access for KN279, while Iskon.DUO offers a double play service of 40 TV channels and 3 Mbps internet access for KN189 a month.
Zagreb-based Iskon finds itself competing in an increasingly crowded Croatian IPTV sector in which the incumbent’s MAXtv is the undisputed market leader, claiming over 150,000 subscribers as of earlier this month.
