Rakuten TV is now available on Altibox TV

LONDON — Rakuten TV – one of Europe’s leading streaming platforms – is now available on Altibox, Norway’s leading ISP and television service provider. The company takes a step forward in its strategy to partner with main telco partners across Europe, with the goal to broaden the reach of its content to telco clients.

In response to the growing demand for free, high-quality content in the Nordic countries, Rakuten TV’s app is now integrated into Altibox’s set-top boxes. Their customers can enjoy two distinct services tailored to various viewing preferences:

• Free: more than 600 movies on demand supported by advertisements (AVOD). A vast library of movies and TV shows without any subscription fees.
• Live TV: over 130 live TV channels at no cost, supported by advertisements (FAST). This includes a mix of popular channels and exclusive content.

Altibox is a leading telecommunications provider in Norway, offering high-speed fiber-optic broadband, digital TV, and telephone services. With this agreement, Altibox and Rakuten TV reinforce their commitment to offering high-quality entertainment, bringing the best film and TV shows directly to their customers’ homes at zero cost.

Altibox customers can look forward to iconic Rakuten TV channels including ‘Top Movies Channel’, ‘Action Channel’, ‘Comedy Channel’ or ‘Drama Channel’ together with a diverse selection of movies available on demand.

Jorge del Puerto, European Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Rakuten TV said: “Rakuten TV fits perfectly into Altibox’s content strategy. In their continuous efforts to provide the best service, they are not only looking to provide more content to their customers but also clearly aim to secure high quality content, which is undoubtedly the cornerstone of Rakuten TV. There is a vast amount of FAST/AVOD content currently available in the market, but very little of it is truly high quality, that’s why Rakuten TV is becoming extremely popular across Nordic countries.”

The partnership with Altibox arrives within the context of other partnerships signed by Rakuten TV in the last two years with some of the main telco providers in Europe like Orange in Spain, 1&1 in Germany and Virgin Media in UK, recently announced.
