What if we told you that a city council has approved a pirate IPTV service to which its neighbors can subscribe to watch thousands of channels? Both citizens and businesses can now use this platform with five different subscription rates.
In the United States there are lots of small towns that surprise you with their traditions or the way their neighbors live. Also because of the decisions they make or the way they look at the world. And, for years, the world has known that, around Utah, many of those peculiarities are brewing. Today we enter one of its cities to discover this pirated IPTV news that cannot be said to leave your mouth open.
A fantasy place
Welcome to Mapleton, an American city with a population of around 11,000 people that is one of the most idyllic places in the nation. Its crime rate is 80% below average and there is virtually no crime. You live calmly, with peace, happiness and tranquility. And, furthermore, if you live there, it is possible that access to all possible television will cost you a ridiculous price.
Its town hall is worthy of a television series. He posts the meetings on a YouTube channel that has 125 subscribers and has possibly never received so many views in its history. Because since this news broke, Mapleton has become fashionable.
IPTV reaches the lives of neighbors
But let’s get down to business, because if we continue talking to you about the benefits of this place, you may end up wanting to buy a small apartment in Mapleton. We go back to the last days of 2022, at which time a town hall meeting is held in which the objective is to discuss the establishment of a streaming service defined as Xtreme High-Definition IPTV. An official document that can be found online corroborates this information, no matter how delirious it may be.
The precedents to this meeting had been recorded in other documents, where the city council had requested to investigate offering this service. And you can read things like “When investigating the different options, it has become clear that a high definition IPTV subscription service would be the best option and the one that would involve the least investment. “As a team, we confirmed that a subscription streaming service must be implemented to compete with other communications companies within the Mapleton service area.”
January arrives and the city council is already carrying out the next steps in the process. You have analyzed, for example, the prices and services offered by current providers, or the cost ranges that have to be offered for your IPTV depending on the number of decoders and devices that they are going to offer. They have also analyzed the installation and maintenance costs, as well as the total costs of the operation. This leads them to present five rates depending on whether clients will use the platform on one device, two, three, four or five. The cheapest price on the table is $14.99 per month, just under 15 euros. Progressively, costs rise to $54.99 for a subscription for five devices.
In their eagerness to discover what they were doing in the Mapleton town hall, the experts at Torrent Freak, who are the ones who have come across this delirious news, discover the pirate IPTV service that they were going to offer. They discover it because they compare what this illegal platform offers and what the small town’s IPTV network is going to offer. Thus, they see that the IPTV that they have decided to implement is Xtreme HD IPTV, an illegal service that provides its citizens with more than 18,000 channels, more than 60,000 movies and more than 8,400 television series.
The month of March 2023 arrives and, on the city’s Instagram, the call for the meeting is published where the leaders of Mapleton will make the final decision on the IPTV service. And, in the approval process, they publish the final data that includes the following information: the annual cost they will have to maintain the service and the annual income they will obtain. The accounts come out: the annual profit margin is over 90%. Negotiation. And the most shocking thing is that no one thinks that they are entering into swampy territory. Has no one heard of pirated IPTV or is it that they don’t reach reality in this little corner of Utah?
And, of course, the measure was approved. It was on March 15, 2023 at the city council meeting that you can see in this YouTube video. One user has even left a comment on the video saying “32:15 for the IPTV thing”, saving us from having to watch the entire video. For 16 minutes the room talks about the Xtreme HD IPTV service, different aspects of its operation are assessed and there are not even a hint of problems about what is discussed. Delirious.
From Torrent Freak they say that they have contacted members of the Mapleton council, possibly to open their eyes. So most likely, in the coming days, the news will evolve in some way. Right now, the truth is that we wouldn’t want to work at Mapleton City Hall, because the hard time they must be having has to be significant.
