Before launching in the Baltics, NENT Group has already signed distribution agreements with Tet, Latvia’s market-leading technology and entertainment company and Estonia’s market-leading TV and Telco company, Elisa. Less than 20% of the 2.8 million households in the three countries currently pay for a subscription video streaming service, compared with over 50% in the Nordic region, and most households already have high speed fixed and mobile broadband connections that are being upgraded further.
