Frontier readies launches IPTV in Rochester, NY, challenges Charter’s monopoly

Frontier Communications plans to launch its Vantage TV VOD service in Rochester, New York, by the end of this year. This launch by Frontier lays a new challenge for Charter Communications, which was leading the market for quite some time now. The new video streaming platform is planned to be launched in about three dozen Rochester-area towns.

Frontier also said that it has no intention of competing the leading streaming platforms such as Amazon and Netflix. Instead, they plan to have a specific channel that will be entirely dedicated to Netflix. The launch is just a broader initiative to deliver IPTV services throughout its territories.
