Elion provides month of free TV after failure

Estonian IPTV provider Elion is to make its NutiTV service available free of charge to users for the rest of this month after the service suffered a major outage on Tuesday.

New and existing subscribers will recieve the service for the period from January 15-31. Video-on-demand movies will also be available free of charge during this period.

The TeliaSonera-owned telco put the failure down to a software problem at its central data facility.
