It also boasts regionalization support to cater to local market preferences.
“We are strengthening our presence in the DACH market with the TV service launch alongside our partner LIWEST. It proves the competitiveness and scalability of the AgileTV operating model and allows us to continue to grow and bring high-quality TV experiences to new audiences around the globe,” commented Koldo Unanue, CEO of AgileTV.
