이 과감한(OTT) 디지털 스트리밍 서비스는 싱가포르의 싱텔, 워너 브라더스 엔터테인먼트, 그리고 소니 픽처스 텔레비전 간의 파트너십으로 만들어졌습니다. HOOQ는 할리우드 블록버스터와 TV 시리즈는 물론 인기 현지 영화와 프로그램을 언제 어디서나 고객에게 제공하며, 고객이 원하는 기기나 플랫폼에서 좋아하는 쇼를 스트리밍하고 다운로드할 수 있도록 합니다.

출시 시점에 HOOQ는 파트너들의 타이틀을 포함한 10,000편 이상의 영화와 TV 시리즈 카탈로그를 보유하게 됩니다. 이 서비스는 고객에게 스파이더맨, 해리 포터와 같은 블록버스터부터 프렌즈, 가십걸과 같은 TV 인기작까지 스트리밍, 다운로드 및 감상을 할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램을 제공할 예정입니다. 또한 고객은 인도, 중국, 태국, 필리핀, 인도네시아, 한국 및 일본 영화와 TV 시리즈를 폭넓게 선택할 수 있습니다. ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, GMA Network, Viva Entertainment 및 Regal Films가 HOOQ와 협력하여 현지 콘텐츠를 제공합니다.

이 서비스는 파트너 모바일 네트워크인 Globe Telecom을 통해 해당 국가에서 먼저 출시됩니다. 구독은 GoSurf 및 Tattoo Postpaid 요금제에서 월 Php199부터 이용할 수 있습니다. 현재 Globe 네트워크에 가입되지 않은 사용자도 추후 발표될 다른 요금으로 서비스를 구독할 수 있습니다. 이 새로운 서비스를 모두가 이용할 수 있는 날짜는 현재 HOOQ CEO인 Peter Bithos에 따르면 “아주 곧”이라고 합니다.

This is a good idea especially since I’ve stopped waiting for shows on cable TV when I learned that I could watch shows anytime using the internet. This service specifically caters to that… without the guilt of having to illegally obtain the shows. It’s also great that we can download content and watch offline due to our slow internet connection. I just hope the quality is not as bad as ABS-CBN’s iWantTV.

Galardia · 11 years ago

I swear the quality of ABSCBN’s HQ option is as bad as Youtube’s 240p or even 180p. Not to mention it’s freaking slow to load.

Idea is a welcome one. But partnering with a telco will suck the joy from this experience. I can’t even get a stable LTE connection. With globe or smart.
Netflix has me glued so lets see how the delivery of hooked is implemented.

Dicube · 12 years ago

with the success of NETFLIX this is a good innovation, maybe there are flaws at first just any other starters but at least there is an area for improvement kasi may nasimulan na, keep it up HOOQ.

As long as there’s classic 0079 gundam on Hooq and Majisuka Gakuen, I don’t mind subscribing to this, even if I’m a Smart user.

two words… DATA CAP!!!!!!!!

Mr A · 12 years ago

Wait, I don’t get the sentence about the getting Asian titles. It says that Asian titles will be provided by ABS, GMA, Regal and Viva? Or are you saying that the service will also get titles from the mentioned networks and film producers?

Carl Lamiel · 12 years ago

The latter. Will update the article to avoid confusion. Thanks for the heads-up.

DATA CAP!!!!

The shareholders were like: “WTF! Kung magsasaksak kami ng hidden ringing tone sa sangkatauhan, Ariana Grande na lang. Magsarili ka kung gusto mo!”.

And that ultimatum finally hit me. I finally decided to have my own content service company. I can now force One Direction videos to all the consumer phones to drain their load. Best of luck to me.

Peter Betos · 12 years ago

I am finally happy to get away from Globe. My ideas regarding hidden charges from One Direction ringing tones are being shutdown by the shareholders. Now that I have my own company, I am able and entitled to charge the users content that some are freely available elsewhere.

And again, I didn’t authorize this. This site keeps on misrepresenting me.

Hello! May I know more details about your concern po for further assistance?

Peter Betos · 12 years ago

Kabilin-bilinan ko sa Public Relations na sana naman, you ask for my certification on a closed door meeting sa Condo ni Denise bago maglabas ng article. You need to pay me 500,000 centavos in 1 centavo denominations KADA ISA for the damages and royalties ng company ko. CLASSIFIED ANG KADA LETRA NG PANGALAN!!! So please be cautious naman!!

Goodluck sa HOOQ. Wala akong trust sa 199 per month na yan hanggat may data cap. Watching and streaming videos for about 15 minutes or more until Globe will reduce your speed. Kahit pa download lang ng mga apps sa google play ang ginagawa ko, binabawasan pa rin speed. Tapos sasabihin lang na maibabalik lang sa normal speed kung ie end ang current promo. Sayang lang ang unli ko for 3 days. Lang kwenta ang HSPA+ or 4G kung gang fb, instagram at twitter. Tapos sa movies? Hindi mo matatapos ang panood at di mo rin matatapos ang pag download ng movie.
