Discovery
Networks in Germany VP and country manager
Dr. Patrick Hörl says, "The launch
of Discovery Broadband in Germany underscores
our commitment to extend the company’s
quality content across multiple media platforms
in order to provide increased flexibility,
convenience and control to consumers".
Discovery
Broadband is available to consumers on a
monthly or annual subscription basis at
a cost of €5 and €50 respectively.
Consumers can also access individual programmes
for 24 hours on a pay-per-view basis for
a fee of €1 or €2 based on the
duration of the content. A free one-week
trial of the service will be available at
launch.
With
a total of more than 12 million broadband
subscribers, Germany is currently the largest
broadband market in Europe and also one
of the top five broadband markets in the
world (Source: Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development, June 2006).
To
access the range of programming available
on the Discovery Broadband site, consumers
simply register their details at www.discoverybroadband.de
to open an online BT click and buy account
and will then receive a username and password
for continued account access.
Discovery
Broadband is also available in Europe in
the UK, France, Italy and the Netherlands.
