20 years ago, Netstream launched Switzerland's first live TV platform. ADSL.TV, later renamed nello.tv, ushered in a new era of television. We take you on a short journey through time and briefly reminisce.
In the early 2000s, the world experienced a technological change with the new broadband internet. This opened up a world full of new possibilities. The Netstream quickly realized that there was great potential here for the TV industry and developed an innovative offering. In 2004, the time had come: ADSL.TV saw the light of day.
The vision behind the platform
ADSL.TV offered users the opportunity to receive live TV via an ADSL connection for the first time. The resulting flexibility and independence from traditional cable or satellite TV opened up a whole new world. Favorite shows and channels could now be streamed directly over the Internet - a new version of TV consumption was born.
20 years of innovation and progress
With the further development of technology and increasing user requirements, ADSL.TV was further developed into nello.tv. Nello.tv stood for innovation, user-friendliness and a wide range of content. But we quickly realized that we wanted to make our solution available to others. We therefore developed nello into a white-label TV platform that allowed business customers to easily offer their own TV product to their end customers. Shortly afterwards, major customers such as Orange, Sunrise and Teleboy also counted on our expertise.
The TV platform today
ADSL.TV and later nello.tv offered us many insights into the world of TV consumption and helped us to develop and continuously improve our TV as a Service product. Today, we focus on our partners who use the platform for their end customers. But we are not sleeping either. Right now, our team is working on the further development of our solution. Soon we will be able to tell you more about it.
Closing words
The 20th anniversary of our milestone ADSL.TV is not only a reason to celebrate, but also an opportunity to look ahead. Our passion for streaming solutions is stronger than ever and we live it every day!
