It was obvious for us that we need to customize a video service for iPhone users and the solution we have chosen from Aspiro Tv is impeccable quality wise. - Marius Halle, Head of Content, NetCom.

Netcom (member of the TeliaSonera group) launched mobile TV together with us a few years ago. About a year after launch, the iPhone came to market and Netcom asked us to make a custom version of the portal for the same. It was clear that this smartphone would be important going forward, and is today still commanding viewership of video across all devices.
