VDC Corporation, based in Northbrook, Illinois , is a multichannel video programming distributor, delivering live cable television through Broadband connected computers in the United States. They develop and are involved in the distribution and delivery of live cable Television programming channels.


HISTORY

VDC Corporation was founded in 2002 by Scott Wolf. VDC was a pioneer in the delivery of live cable programming to mobile devices. The company transitioned its mobile product to the delivery of live cable television to desktop computers with their Virtual Digital Cable service launched in April of 2006.

In January of 2007, VDC made public its decision to file a Program Access complaint with the FCC to commence a proceeding to obtain enforcement of the program access rules under the 1992 Cable TV Consumer Protection Act, to ensure Vertically Integrated programming providers sell their programming to VDC. Such providers include Time Warner (CNN, TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network, HBO), Liberty Media , (Discovery Channel), Cablevision (Rainbow) and Comcast (E!, Golf Channel).


CURRENT SERVICE

Currently VDC offers a single subscription package for $8.95 per month, which gives users access to all channels in VDC's current lineup.
