confirms the outstanding quality of the development work and services
performed by our subsidiary Videociety and our meinVoD platform, as well as
the quality of our Splendid film library. We are very much looking forward
to working together."
Hans D. Henseleit, Managing Director of Videociety GmbH, says: "We are
delighted that the smart VoD solutions that we offer our customers from the
industrial, telecommunications and retail sectors as a service platform with
our VoD platform meinVoD have also made us a partner to freenet Group. I am
confident that the attractive services offered by 'freenet Video' will win
over customers."
We are delighted to have found Splendid as a suitable partner for bringing
the revolutionary concept of freenet video to fruition. So far, we are the
only company in the field of streaming that has succeeded in creating a
flat-rate format that offers its customers not only the "traditional"
selection of films, but real blockbusters as well. This all fits very well
with the freenet Group's video strategy and once again emphasises that with
innovation and a sense of proportion in its pricing policy the company is
creating attractive TV products for people in Germany and thus causing a
real stir on the market," explains Antonius Fromme, Managing Director and
