BT preps new Vision

UK telco BT is redesigning its BT Vision IPTV service, according to a report in the Financial Times.

It says that BT will revamp the service within weeks, introducing social media and personal recommendation elements and greater interactivity to the user experience. The changes come as BT Vision faces increased competition from the likes of Netflix, which has just launched in the UK, and Lovefilm, which has been busily adding content to its streaming service.
