iCanal will also introduce a guide to hundreds of links to video clippings and direct streaming events from all over the world.
In addition iCanal will, in cooperation with several production companies, produce its own programmes. These programmes will in an initial phase focus on film, music and food.
- Telenor Internet wants to be a leading player when it comes to shaping the way Internet is evolving. We will see more and more multimedia content, says Knut Haakon Nilsen, head of Telenor Internet. Through iCanal, the viewers or surfers, will be able to view streamed programmes whenever they want, as long as they are hooked up to the Internet.
- iCanal.no is specially designed for those with fast Internet connection, like ADSL or cable, but also users with ISDN connection will find this site interesting, says Nilsen.
- We will pay special attention to Norwegian content, says Else Ellingsen, in charge of iCanal. – We hope the portal can boost production of high quality Norwegian content on the Internet.
iCanal will replace the ADSL portal which was introduced in December, to coincide with the rollout of ADSL in Norway. Several of the current services on the ADSL portal will be continued on iCanal, now open at www.icanal.no.
