BT Signs Download-to-Own VOD Deal with NBC Universal

BT announced digital distribution agreements with Universal Pictures UK and NBC Universal International Television Distribution covering content for purchase (via download-to-own) or rental (via video-on-demand) in the UK.



Content will be available for purchase and viewing on PC from the BT Vision store, a new film and television download service to be launched this month.



From 31-July-2006, BT will offer a PC-based film and television download service, building to offer 150 Universal titles available on the same date as the UK DVD release. Consumers can purchase content for permanent ownership and will download two digital files to PC/laptop and a portable device, in conjunction with a DVD mailed by post.
