On 22 February 2010, Moldtelecom launched the first IPTV interactive digital television service in the Republic of Moldova. The new IPTV service (Internet Protocol TV or IP television) involves the digital transmission of the TV signal through the Internet IP protocols, directly on the TV screen. This new experience in the broadcasting field is transmitted through a broadband connection directly to the customers' TVs, through a Mediabox (Set-Top-Box). The IPTV subscriber can have access to a range of video, voice and data services along with interactive developed tools - either for TV channels or video services on demand.
