Hanaro Telecom, Korea's new local phone service carrier, is to launch the Internet movie theater of first-run films through high-speed Internet access.
Hanaro Telecom officials said that it will show the American movie Austin Powers through its
Internet HanaNet homepage from July 24, simultaneously with first-run movie
theaters
in Korea.
So far, some local service providers featured previews or
second-run films
through the Internet. But, it will be the first time in Korea that a
newly
released film is to be screened on the Internet.
The new movie service will be offered to subscribers of Hanaro
Telecom's
high-speed Internet access service at a speed of 24 frames per second, in
full-screen to owners of a 15-inch monitor, according to the officials.
"Our online movie theater will provide far more natural view of the
screen than the existing VOD services, which are provided by a few other companies at 5-6 frames per second, because we will transmit the data at a speed of 24 frames per second by using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks,"
explained a
Hanaro executive.
