August 6, 2008 - US telco Panhandle Telephone Cooperative, Inc (PTCI) has selected Entone Communications' Hydra IP video gateway and Amulet HD IPTV receiver for its high-definition IPTV service rollout. PTCI serves the Oklahoma Panhandle and portions of the Texas Panhandle regions with quad-play services, including digital interactive TV and digital cable TV with 140+ channels, TV web surfing and DVR, high-speed Internet and wireless service with free mobile-to-mobile.
