“CCiTV breaks the traditional mold of television services,” said Rob Koester, vice president of consumer product management at Consolidated Communications. “It’s a streamlined service that removes the two biggest pain points customers experience when dealing with traditional providers: weather-related outages and never-ending fees on the bill. Everything is included in one easy-to-use, highly reliable package.”

The service’s bring-your-own-device functionality creates a highly flexible in-home viewing experience that serves a wide variety of viewing habits.
