_wige MEDIA AG: Green light for sporttotal.tv: strong partners support the _wige MEDIA AG portal - Seite 2

Telekom Deutschland GmbH will collaborate as a partner for technology and content and support the project in the areas of assembly, connectivity and broadcasting, as well as with a central Microsoft Cloud infrastructure hosted in data centres based in Frankfurt/Main and Magdeburg. Selected live content and highlights will be made accessible to Entertain customers on other Deutsche Telekom platforms.


"We are very happy to be able to present such strong partners across the industry right from the start of the pilot phase and, above all, to know that they are with us on this. The range of different competences will hopefully help our start-up to grow quickly to an authoritative size in the sport media world. Having support from our country's strongest sport associations is a special honour and a responsibility at the same time - we have come to know them as open, innovative and extremely dedicated," says Peter Lauterbach, CEO of _wige MEDIA AG and founder of sporttotal.tv gmbh

"This innovative commitment will enable us to attract greater attention to local amateur sports in Germany in which many of our customers, representatives and employees are involved. This serves to underscore our role as a partner and insurer of sports in Germany," explains Manfred Boschatzke, head of Brand & Sponsoring at Allianz Deutschland AG: "We are making a start with amateur football. Going forward, however, many other types of sport could benefit from the new digital broadcasting."

Thomas Kipp, EVP Strategy & Business Development at Deutsche Post AG: "Germany's Post stands for broad-based presence and innovation and, together with the DFB, also for promoting amateur German football. We are delighted to be able to take another a big step forward here, together with strong partners. As experts for logistics and communication, we will help to make sporttotal.tv a success."

Hagen Rickmann, managing director responsible for the business customers of Telekom Deutschland GmbH: "We are pleased to be an important part of this exciting and innovative project which, together with our long standing and strong partners, will allow us to create the basis for sport enthusiasts in Germany to access exciting sport content free of charge through the Internet anywhere any time."
