Twenty years ago, Netstream launched Switzerland's first live TV platform. ADSL.TV, later renamed nello.tv, ushered in a new era of television. We'll take you on a brief journey through time and reminisce.
In the early 2000s, the world experienced a technological shift with the advent of broadband internet. This opened up a world of new possibilities. The Netstreampioneers quickly recognized the enormous potential this offered for the TV industry and developed an innovative product. In 2004, it finally happened: ADSL.TV was launched.
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 television opened up a completely new world. Favorite shows and channels could now be streamed directly over the internet – a new way of watching TV was born.
20 years of innovation and progress
With the advancement of technology and increasing user demands, ADSL.TV evolved into nello.tv. Nello.tv stood for innovation, user-friendliness, and a wide selection of content. However, we quickly realized that we wanted to make our solution available to others. Therefore, we developed nello into a white-label TV platform, enabling business customers to easily offer their own TV product to their end customers. Shortly thereafter, major clients such as Orange, Sunrise, and Teleboy also relied on our expertise.
The TV platform today
ADSL.TV and later nello.tv provided us with valuable insights into the world of TV consumption and helped us 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're not resting on our laurels either. Right now, our team is working on further developing our solution. We'll be able to share more details with you soon.
Closing remarks
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 singleag !
