Rogers had some news yesterday that turned some heads. Here’s the list of things that were announced:
- Rogers plans to roll out a new 4K set top box. To give you something to watch, Rogers will serve up over 100 live sporting events streamed in 4K including all 2016 Blue Jays home games and 20 NHL games.
- From the “did hell freeze over” department comes the news that they have a partnership with Netflix for “premium” 4K streaming by connecting to the Open Connect content delivery network. Seeing as Rogers is part of the partnership with Shaw to serve up Shomi, I didn’t see that one coming.
- Rogers has also announced Rogers Ignite Gigabit internet. It will show up in the following GTA areas shortly: Harbourfront, Cabbagetown, Riverdale, King Street West, Queen Street West, the Financial District, Discovery District, Yonge and Bloor, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Pickering, Ajax, and Whitby and some more that I haven’t listed here. More areas will come by the end of 2016.
Clearly what Rogers is trying to do is to give you a reason not to run out to Bell and their services as they were first to the table with Gigabit Internet. My question is, will it succeed in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers?
We’ll see.
