Glenten

What Glenten does

Glenten (legal entity: Glentevejs Antennelaug) is a member-owned, non-profit antenna association (antenneforening) headquartered in Odense, Denmark, serving approximately 22,000 member households in the Funen region. Established in the 1970s, the organization has delivered television and broadband services to the Odense area for more than 50 years and describes itself as one of Denmark's largest antenna associations. Beyond its direct residential membership, Glenten functions as a federation of 17 other Danish antenna associations, which it serves with technical, administrative, and procurement support.

The core product portfolio comprises broadband internet at four speed tiers (250/15 Mbit, 500/25 Mbit, 1000/35 Mbit, and 2000/500 Mbit) priced at 139-219 kr/month, and digital TV packages — Grundpakke, Mellempakke, and Fuldpakke — with 26, 37, and 57 channels priced at 215, 570, and 830 kr/month respectively. The technical platform is conventional: digital TV transmission, broadband delivery over fiber/coax, and a self-service portal (selvbetjening.glenten.dk). Add-on services include Web TV (GlentenTV) for portable streaming across Denmark and the EU, a 'Vælg Selv' customizable channel product, IP Telefoni, Glenten Cloud storage, Glenten Secure security, and Glenten Mobil mobile telephony. A TV 2 Play streaming partnership is integrated as a member benefit.

The business model is recurring subscription revenue on a cost-recovery basis; the cooperative structure means there is no profit margin and no shareholders. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the self-service platform, phone support, a physical office, and a member-referral program ('Skaf et nyt medlem'), with a secondary B2B motion serving 17 member antenna associations and housing cooperatives. Pricing is presented as below-market relative to commercial Danish ISPs, and contracts have no binding period. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
