At last year’s IBC show in Amsterdam, Hendrik McDermott, senior vice president of branded on demand for NBCUniversal International, announced NBC’s intention to expand hayu’s availability to the current seven territories it supports.

McDermott said the service has been busy establishing mobile operator partnerships in those territories as well.
