Amazon Fire TV for Rural Service Providers

Amazon now is opening up its Fire TV platform to partnerships with communications service providers. The Fire TV Edition for Operators is available today in North America, Europe, India and Japan.

After successfully introducing Fire TV partnerships with Tata Sky in India and Verizon in the United States, Fire TV is now expanding the device offerings available to operators across several continents, including rural connectivity partners in rural U.S. markets where traditional linear video services are unprofitable for the service providers. 

Amazon is working with the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) to enable its members the ability to deliver low cost Fire TV streaming media players directly to their customers. 


NCTC has over 750 members, including independent cable and telecommunication operators, delivering service to 16 million broadband and eight million video customers.
