Nochmals zur Erinnerung: Metabox starts pilot project with South Africa Telkom Met@box AG of Hildesheim, Germany, announces a pilot project with South Africa Telkom, the largest telecommunications company in South Africa, to test Met@box internet technology in the South African market. Telkom will provide the necessary infrastructure and human resources through its daughter company Intekom. A portal, based on Met@box¥s own content management system, designed for TV resolution will also be maintained by Intekom. The portal will concentrate on education offerings and general information. Met@box will provide at least 60 Met@boxes for the internet-access over television field-trial as well as the necessary software for customer relations and training personnel. The trial with demographically selected test candidates will run for two months. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the market potential for Met@box and Telkom, to gather information on tele-learning, and to get an exact definition of the user-requirements. Additionally, it is also the basis for the ongoing negotiations regarding a partnership between Telkom SA Ltd. and Met@box AG with the desired result of establishing a nationwide set-top-box service. Because of its relatively low price, Telkom perceive the Met@box set-top-boxes as a great opportunity to give the lower-income bracket of the population access to information and education. Telkom is looking to play in a leading role in bringing this technology to South Africa. Met@box AG, Hildesheim, Germany, develops, produces and markets set-top boxes bringing the Internet to the TV screen. Furthermore, the company broadcasts, via the patented BOT technology, an InternetTV program under the brand Met@TV, and herewith provides its own platform for e-commerce and online shopping.
