France Channel  Debuts on Amazon Prime Video

"...Amazon Prime Video is the largest streaming-content provider worldwide with movies, series, original content and subscriptions to services such as Paramount Plus, Max, Discovery+ and now, France Channel. The partnership allows an estimated 146 million members of Amazon Prime in the U.S. to discover France through the largest ever offering of French titles, a majority of which have never been available in the United States.

According to Duolingo's data as of February of 2023, there are currently 20 million users on the app learning French. ..."

"..."We are very proud to be distributed on Amazon Prime Video Channels as it allows us to bring French Culture to the U.S.," said Julien Verley, chief executive officer and founder of France Channel.

NETGEM a acheté Eclair Préservation et Eclair Digital Services

Avec la Acquisition des sociétés Eclair Préservation et Eclair Digital Services (et Rachat des intérêts minoritaires de Vitis en France), NETGEM se lance sur la diversification en 2023 avec l'objectif de transformer les éditeurs en centre de profits (vs centre de couts auparavant), stratégie déjà engagée avec Gaumont Classique ou France Channels, et de se renforcer dans d'autres segments.

https://www.netgem.com/fr/notre-expertise

Cela permettra à Netgem de compenser la perte de CA liée à la cession des activités Fibre (finalisée fin mars), sur le déclin, et les remplacer par des activités rentables qui ont, conjointement, un potentiel de développement plus attrayant (synergies à exploiter), souligne l'analyste Oddo.

 En outre, la valorisation des 2 deals apparait raisonnable, et l'impact relutif sur les BPA de la société devrait se situer entre +10% et +20% post-dilution sur 2024 (selon les hypothèses de synergies retenues)!

ZTE & Netgem relationship solidifies!

(2023-06-07)

"Jianbo Wang, CEO of ZTE France & Benelux:

👉  “We are very pleased to work with Netgem on launching a new generation of TV & Streaming services, now available across our range of leading edge Android TV STBs and dongles. 

This combination of exciting Streaming services offers great opportunities for Telecom operators to differentiate themselves in a very cost effective way with innovative TV devices, and we will be building on this first launch with Zeop to expand the new joint proposition to more Operators across Europe.”"

"...Now Netgem can offer any operator wishing to evolve their TV UX and embrace more content, with a very fast time-to-market, running on any Android TV STB. 

Netgem not only offers a future-proof solution for Operators with a strong central innovation Roadmap, but also delivers savings in terms of Capex and Opex to the Operators with the combination of its Cloud-based aggregation Platform and cost-effective Android TV devices provided in partnership with ZTE."

Netgem launches latest Multiscreen TV service for ZEOP in France, with new Netgem UI on Android TV

Netgem launches a complete revamp of the Zeop TV product in the ‘La Reunion’ territory in France @ 2023-06-07

"Zeop TV, with a reach of 100,000+ customers, is at this occasion enhanced with 12 more Replay services, added to the best quality live experience, all accessible via the same acclaimed UI for ‘the most advanced TV service’, already running on Netgem TV boxes, Apple TV, Laptop browsers and Mobile Apps." (2023)

"Plus de 300 000 foyers sont déjà raccordables à la fibre et zeop poursuit son déploiement.  (2023)

The estimated number of Internet users in La Réunion is 480,000. ... La Réunion’s Internet market is highly competitive compared to the rest of France, with a choice of six service providers for a population of only 860,000 – a density of operators unique to the island. This high market penetration doesn’t mean an end to growth, however, as the rapid deployment of fibre-optic technology shows. When it comes to fibre to the home (FTTH), La Réunion is way ahead of France with approximately 75 percent of Réunionese homes now connectable. In locations where there are two or three co-existing fibre networks, of which Zeop is one, the high level of competition has helped the fast deployment of fibre over the whole island. (2019)"
