40,000 sign up to Inuk Networks Freewire TV

Inuk Networks has announced that more than 40,000 people are receiving digital TV through its Freewire TV IPTV service.

This makes it the company with the most users when compared with other true IPTV service providers in the UK.

It also doubles the number of viewers in the country receiving linear television through IPTV.

In the past six months, Inuk has rolled out its Freewire TV service to more than 100,000 student rooms at more than 40 UK universities.

Freewire TV is supplied free at the point of entry to students who have access to high speed network Janet.

Marcus Liassides, CEO at Inuk Networks said: "As an IPTV platform we get real-time reporting on every single one of our customers and the data is throwing up some very interesting patterns and habits of student TV viewers.

"Students across the UK are embracing Freewire as their primary TV viewing platform and are on average watching over three and a half hours of TV per day, with the early-evening soaps proving to be most popular. Students are also a lot making use of the built-in ability of the Freewire platform to flip between watching their favourite shows and general web browsing on the computer."
