Netgem TV

What Netgem TV does

Netgem TV is the UK operating entity of Netgem SA, a publicly listed (Euronext Growth Paris, ALNTG FP) provider of managed TV and streaming services for ISPs and telecom operators. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in London, the company operates a B2B2C model in which it aggregates live TV, FAST channels, on-demand content, and cloud gaming into a white-label platform distributed under operator brands — reaching over 700,000 subscriber households through 100+ telecom and media partners across the UK, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Gibraltar, La Reunion, and emerging markets including India, Indonesia, the UAE, and Senegal.

Its core technology stack centers on an IP-based streaming platform, anchored by the PLEIO streaming puck and the SuperApp unified interface. PLEIO integrates Freely (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5), 150+ additional channels, 250+ cloud games, and Google Play Store apps in a single device. FAST Lane provides telco-grade FAST channel aggregation with consent management for GDPR-compliant ad monetization, while cloud gaming capabilities were vertically integrated through the October 2024 acquisition of Gamestream's activities. The company also retains the Eclair preservation and digital services business acquired in 2023.

Netgem generates revenue through four streams: B2B2C operator subscriptions (recurring fees from ISPs for managed TV services), FAST channel advertising (programmatic monetization via consent management), hardware sales (PLEIO at £99 via Amazon and retail), and cloud gaming (subscription and pay-per-play revenue share with operators). Go-to-market is predominantly indirect through telecom and ISP channel partners including TalkTalk, Community Fibre, BRSK, Connect Fibre, WightFibre, Zzoomm, Voneus, and Inspire Telecom, with a complementary direct-to-consumer channel for PLEIO devices and select retail partnerships via the Everyone TV Freely program.
