The Swiss already stream an hour of content per day
Swisscom is one of the first providers in the world to integrate an interface that incorporates Netflix programming and TV content.
Dirk Wierzbitzki, Head of Residential Customers and Member of the Group Executive Board
People in Switzerland watch TV for around three hours per day – including an hour of streaming services. Swisscom is therefore combining the best of both worlds with a single box and a single remote control.
Rene Rummel-MErgeryan, Business Development Director, Netflix
We are therefore delighted to launch the Swisscom TV X package, giving the Swiss public even easier access to the most entertaining programming available from Swisscom and Netflix.
