Huawei is currently selling (or at least trying to sell) the IP TV solution to Zimbabwean and African carriers. An official at the company revealed to Techzim that Telkom South Africa is currently testing the solution in conjunction with MultiChoice South Africa, with the later being the content provider.

Telkom SA announced in February that they were looking for bids from companies that could provide a triple play solution.

Meanwhile the device manufacturer also unveiled a number of new products that it plans to introduce to the local market. Interestingly, The company also has an Android powered device called the Media Q which, like the Astro Box from Astro turns HD TVs into smart TVs with an Android interface.
