Gazprom-Media’s TNT-Premier has decided to abandon the Huawei platform due to a “massive equipment malfunction”.
Quoting a report in Vedomosti, Telecom Daily says Gazprom-Media is now developing its own software for the OTT service and that it should be ready by the end of this year.
The technical failure in Huawei’s platform occurred at the start of TNT-Premier, when many users found themselves unable to register for the service or watch its content.
As previously reported by Broadband TV News, TNT-Premier made its debut in August 2018.
During its first month of operation it was viewed over 3.9 million times and Gazprom-Media have admitted they underestimated the popularity of the service.
The number of connected users was in fact 100 times higher than had been projected.
