ITonis IPTV Platform to Offer Online Lotteries and Gaming to Chinese Viewers in 2008
| Quelle: ITonis
LONDON--(Marketwire - October 24, 2007) - ITonis (OTCBB : ITNS ) is not only the first
non-Chinese company to become involved in Internet Television in China but,
in another ground-breaking development, is also developing a channel to
sell lottery tickets on behalf of the State Sports Lottery.
To be launched with the first 80 Chinese language channels in early 2008 to
a potential audience of over 130 million, the new Lottery Channel will be
offered through ITonis' wholly-owned foreign enterprise, Flow. By
introducing new lottery and other gaming products, revenues are expected to
increase significantly.
Commenting on the deal, Thomas Roberts, ITonis CEO, said: "We were
delighted to be extending our platform in such dynamic and exciting ways.
Like IPTV, the gaming market in China has previously been closed to foreign
companies and this is a unique opportunity to gain a foothold in this key
growth sector.
"This is a very exciting development for ITonis, which demonstrates our
ability to deliver solutions at home and abroad. It has also brought
together our expertise in on-line television and gaming."
