TV Latam has posted an article saying that state owned Cantv in Venezuela will spend $400M on its IPTV system to reach 1.26 million subscribers using a system provided by ZTE. During the first trial stage of the project, Cantv will offer its service to 67.090 users who will have access to 140 channels.
Venezuela is taking a democratic approach and plans to offer a mass market service. This is a huge win for ZTE.

Venezuela's Cantv IPTV Plans
TV Latam published an article describing the plans of Cantv, the state owned incumbent carrier in Venezuela for IPTV. The company is preparing the market for a 2010 IPTV service launch. It expects to have 800 thousand IPTV subscribers after five years. It plans to achieve a high penetration with subsidized services for the lowest-income sectors and a competitive offering for the other segments.
It is worth reading the TV Latam article because it discusses the political approach that Cantv is taking. As a major petroleum producer, Venezuela would seem to have the resources to pull this off.
