Future TV (Chinese: 未来电视; pinyin: ''Weilai Dianshi'') is a subsidiary of China Network Television (CNTV), the official online division of Chinese national public broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV). Future TV focuses on the expansion of the Internet TV business and runs a national Internet TV platform—China Internet TV (iCNTV), which has millions of online users. iCNTV was the first internet television platform approved by China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). It is capable of providing more than 450,000 hours of on-request programs, and has the exclusive Internet TV broadcasting rights for the Olympics, World Cup, and other international sports events in China. ==Foundation== In March 2010, CNTV got the first Internet TV license from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), which regulates the radio, TV and film industries in China. In 2011, SARFT issued rules that said makers of Internet TV equipment can only offer services in partnership with seven licensed content providers, including CNTV. In December 2011, CNTV and Tencent formed a joint venture - Future TV Co Ltd -, to run the Internet TV business. CNTV holds the majority stake in the operation. Tencent, the country's largest Internet company by revenue, thus extends its services for all "four screens"- computers, tablets, mobile phones and televisions. The company also plans to introduce more services, such as entertainment and e-commerce services, to TV sets. Under the strategic partnership pact, Tencent, which has more than 1,200 Internet services and applications, said it would initially put QQ, the most popular instant-messaging tool in China, on TV. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Future TV Co.
