Deutsche Telecom to use Microsoft’s IPTV technology in Germany
MUMBAI: Europe’s biggest telecommunications group Deutsche Telekom will use Microsoft software to power new internet-based television services it plans to offer in Germany before the end of 2006.
The tie up will see the service launched across Deutsche Telekom’s VDSL network using a Microsoft IPTV platform. The companies have promised a range of entertainment products, including regular programming in standard and high-definition formats, as well as interactive TV, digital video recording and video on demand. The latter feature will allow viewers to access selected feature films, TV series or documentaries at the touch of a button.
The deal cements Microsoft’s position as the leading supplier to providers of internet protocol TV, with 13 telecoms groups now installing or testing its IPTV software. It also represents a milestone for Deutsche Telekom in its bid to be one of the first telecoms groups to offer high-definition TV, voice and data services on new, ultra-fast internet lines.
Deutsche Telecom previously had been conducting a trial of the Microsoft IPTV software. The service is planned for launch in mid 2006 in 10 major German cities including Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich. Other Microsoft IPTV customers include AT&T, Telecom Italia and Swisscom.

Amar Vishwas streams now on Amazon MX Player
Ravi Behl plays sharp lawyer Digambar Dixit in new courtroom drama opposite Rajeev Khandelwal, series launched 11 February 2026.
MUMBAI: Courtroom battles just got a verdict that’s hard to appeal Amazon MX Player’s latest drop, Amar Vishwas, is serving up drama so intense it could make even the gavel nervous. The free, ad-supported streamer rolled out the 10-episode Hindi crime-thriller on 11 February 2026, headlined by Rajeev Khandelwal as the titular Amar Vishwas, a brilliant, eccentric Mumbai lawyer fighting for the underdog while chasing buried truths in a high-profile murder case. Think media frenzy, corporate power plays, and a young woman wrongly accused, all wrapped in layers of deception where justice hangs by a very thin thread.
Ravi Behl steps into the ring as Digambar Dixit (DD), the no-nonsense opposing counsel with swag, attitude, and a razor-sharp edge. “What really attracted me to the series was the character of Digambar Dixit,” Behl shared. “He’s sharp, unapologetic, and carries a certain presence. But the constant conflict between DD and Amar Vishwas, their face-offs are layered, intense, and deeply engaging.”
He also opened up about the genre’s unique demands, “Courtroom dramas rely heavily on dialogue and restraint. It’s about understanding when to hold back and when to let go. There’s a certain decorum, and within that, the battle unfolds. It’s hard work, but it’s good hard work, the demanding, exciting kind.”
Created and produced by Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartik D Nishandar under GSEAMS, with direction by Shashant Shah, the ensemble packs punch with Aamir Ali and Barkha Bisht in key roles. The plot dives into a brutal film producer’s murder that the press dubs open-and-shut, forcing lawyers to navigate perception, power, and hidden agendas.
Available exclusively (and for free) on Amazon MX Player via the app, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and connected TVs, Amar Vishwas blends investigative suspense with moral grey zones perfect for anyone who likes their thrillers served with a side of ethical tension. Whether you’re a legal-eagle fan or just craving something binge-worthy, this one’s arguing its case pretty convincingly.
