A Startup From the Co-Founder of Pluto TV Thinks America Is Ready for Free TVs
Telly, founded by Ilya Pozin, will give away 55-inch 4K TV sets for free, betting that it can build a sustainable advertising business around them.
Is America ready for the free, ad-supported TV set? Ilya Pozin, the co-founder of Pluto TV (the free, ad-supported streaming service now owned by Paramount), sure thinks so.
On Monday, Pozin officially unveiled Telly, a company that plans to ultimately give away millions of premium TV sets, for free (its online reservation system opened Monday morning for an initial batch of 500,000 sets).
โFor too long, consumers have not been an equal part of the advertising value exchange,โ Pozin says. โCompanies are making billions of dollars from ads served on televisions, yet consumers have historically had to pay for both the TV and the content they watch. All of that changes today. When I co-founded Pluto TV, we created an entirely new model that offered amazing TV content to viewers for free. Now, with Telly, we are providing the actual television for free as well.โ
