NxTV Licensee Cable & Wireless Signs Agreement with Three Luxury Resorts in the
Caribbean
LOS ANGELES, Mar 21, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) - NxTV, Inc., the leading provider
of digital in-room entertainment, voice and data services to luxury hotels worldwide,
today announced that its license partner in the Caribbean, Cable & Wireless,
has signed long-term agreements with three St. Lucian Resorts with a total of
466 rooms.
Under the arrangement, the Coco Palm resort will be the first hotel to install the NxTV system. The Coco Palm hotel is a 92 room, 4-star state-of-the-art hotel located at Rodney Bay, combining modern Caribbean style with the gracious hospitality of days gone by. The hotel is St. Lucia's newest and coolest boutique property. Walking into a Coco Palm room is like peering through a portal into the past. Balsamic blues, greens and yellows will soothe the guests. Traditional French styled furniture adorns each room. Lively drapes adorn French doors, some of which open up to a huge walk-in pool that will carry you back to reality. The old style decor blends seamlessly with 21st century comforts like Wi Fi and cable TV.
"We believe that the technology provided by NxTV will enable us to meet the demands of VOD within our region now and into the future," said Dave Cummings, VP of Corporate IP Solutions, Cable & Wireless Latin America. "Furthermore this will help us to align ourselves with the ever growing hospitality sector within the Caribbean region and is in time for the commencement of Cricket World Cup 2007 and beyond."
