Ericsson is set to take full control of Norwegian digital video company Tandberg Television after winning the support of over 90 percent of shareholders, in a deal that paves the way for its emergence into IPTV. Headquartered in Southampton, England, Tandberg makes compression and on-demand features for digital broadcasting. Ericsson had been courting the company since February, when CEO Carl-Henric Svanberg said IPTV would be “the biggest networked multimedia opportunity going forward”, bringing Ericsson new customers in the shape of cable and satellite operators. The deal involved a 106 kroner ($17) share offer.
