M1 broadband network delivers 1box's Internet on TV

M1 customers can now access 1box’s Internet on TV, while using social networking sites.

An exciting new channel for home infotainment is now available with the launch of 1box by M1 on Friday. Internet, movies, celebrity concerts, exciting games and fun learning modules will be available via high-speed broadband from this multimedia device. 1box will bring the World Wide Web and an array of compelling content and services to the TV screens of M1 Home Broadband customers.

1box is offered as a value-added service with a lifestyle and entertainment focus for M1’s Fibre, Cable and ADSL Home Broadband customers. It is a simple to use plug-and-play device that connects to the HDMI slot of high definition television sets (HDTV) and rides on M1’s advanced Home Broadband network. Customers can lean back and enjoy the exciting suite of services on television via 1box with a remote control or a wireless keyboard and mouse.

1box offers customers the pleasure of accessing the Internet on TV, including streaming videos on popular websites such as Sesame Street, YouTube, Clicknetwork.tv and Discovery Channel and staying in touch with family and friends on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

By connecting their external media storage to 1box via the USB port, customers can also share their personal videos, music or photos with family and friends on television.

1box will be offered to customers on a monthly rental of $5 for 50 Mbps and above fibre.

Home Broadband plans

There will be four main categories of content services that will be offered to customers: Education, Music, Movies and Games. Customers can subscribe to the content services on a monthly subscription basis while content such as movies will be charged on a pay-per-view basis, according to an M1 report.

“We are excited to offer our customers more lifestyle and entertainment choices via this new multimedia platform. With its wide range of TV Internet and content capability, 1box will provide many hours of entertainment for the whole family. Most importantly, it will enable customers to get more out of their current M1 Home Broadband service,” said P. Subramaniam, Chief Marketing Officer of M1.

“1box will be one of many more innovative services from M1 that will leverage on our ultra-fast fibre broadband service that was launched on the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network,” he added.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
