Deutsche Telekom increases IPTV customer base

May 9, 2018 11.28 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German telco Deutsche Telekom won 54,000 new customers in Q1 2018 for its IPTV platform Entertain TV, which now has a total of 3.19 million customers.

The growth is lower than in Q1 2017 in which 76,000 new customers were added. The figures include both fixed-line and satellite customers.

For the version of Entertain for DTH satellite households on Astra (19.2° East), Deutsche Telekom has recently adopted a new strategy in response to the increasing availability of broadband internet access in rural areas and the growing demand for streaming services among satellite households.
