The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday edition BCE is releasing free Fibe TV mobile applications for iOS and Android. The Post's Christina Pellegrini writes the new app offers Fibe TV subscribers in Ontario and Quebec access to more than 300 live channels on their mobile screens at home and more than 170 live channels for on-the-go viewing, a feat the Montreal telco says was first in the world. BCE's product line is helping to boost revenue and subscribers, and it is lifting sales of its companion Fibe Internet offering. During the quarter ended March 31, BCE recorded 990,325 subscribers of Fibe TV in Ontario and Quebec and Bell Aliant's FibreOP TV in Atlantic Canada, a year-over-year increase of 37 per cent. As of April 17, the company said it had surpassed one million subscribers and amassed a footprint of 6.1 million houses. The footprint refers to all the places where that the Internet protocol television (IPTV) service can reach, either through the pricey installation of optical fibre all the way to the final destination, or by stopping just short at a neighbourhood's node, which serves a group of nearby customers and relies on the copper phone wires to push the signal across the final kilometre.
