The company, which is a leading aggregator and distributor of
interactive applications and content, has opened up an office in the
USA to support its rapidly growing North American business.
The US office is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, a rapidly
growing area for new media technologies and IPTV, both with
initiatives from traditional broadcasters and internet-centric
companies. Tim Beloney, VP Sales and Business Development, North
America, has been brought in to run the San Francisco office. |

Michael Lantz, CEO, Accedo Broadband,
commented: "We believe that the US market will go through a period
of tremendous growth both within telco-driven IPTV and new internet
TV initiatives, gradually moving towards a 10 foot TV experience.
With existing clients located worldwide, it was a natural step to
expand our operations to better service their needs, as well as
those of potential customers. Accedo also has a number of business
partners in the US, with whom we will be working more closely to
secure new opportunities in North America."
Accedo's market position among leading telcos and other IPTV service
providers in Europe, the world's most advanced IPTV market, puts
Accedo in the ideal position to supply a world-class offering to the
North American markets. The US office adds to Accedo Broadband's
existing presence in Sweden and the UK.
