Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is giving access to its massive archive of 4000 movie titles for the German ISP T-Online, which is a business unit of the Deutche Telekom. T-Online is about to launch their on-demand movie service. They have also inked a deal with a German movie distributor Constantin Film.

"This landmark agreement speaks to the promising future of video-on-demand worldwide," said Jim Griffiths, president of MGM Worldwide Television Distribution, in a statement.

T-Online is due to launch its T-Online Vision on TV service, which will allow customers to download videos over the Internet and then watch it on their TV sets, by the end of the year.BTOpenWorld.com
