Ever ready to increase the size of their popular portal services, the broadband and Dialup ISP provider, BTOpenworld, have now introduced the UKs first Games-On-Demand service:
BTopenworld Joins Forces with Leading Games and Software Publishers For First UK Games on Demand Trial
Software To Go (http://www.btopenworld.com/stg) is an initiative which, for the first time, enables UK broadband users to rent quality games over their broadband Internet connection. The progressive streaming technology solution behind the Software To Go offering has been developed with Exent Technologies, the leading developer of Applications-on-Demand (AoD) technology for telecoms and broadband services.
The trial is available to all UK broadband users, including Btopenworld broadband customers. To take part in the trial or get more details, visit:

John Raczka, Senior Vice President of Content, BTopenworld said: "BTopenworld is pleased to have attracted a number of leading publishers to this new area of games on demand services in the UK. BTopenworld is committed to providing the best possible broadband experience for our customers making online games a pivotal part of our overall consumer proposition. This is only the first of a number of exciting games initiatives we have in development for this year."
While the services seems to hold some promise, we can’t help but wonder how long it’d be before somebody cracks the system. Such things have been tried many times before in the USA and failed.
