Stofa signs deal with Aalborg community antenna association

Danish cable operator Stofa has struck a strategic cooperation pact with community antenna systems association Gug-Visse-Dall Antenneforening (GVD) whereby Stofa will provide broadband and TV services to GVD members.

However, the association’s management decided that an agreement with a strategic partners would be necessary to provide advanced broadband and TV services to its members.

Under the five-year agreement, Stofa will enable GVT to deliver a rang of advanced services including high-speed broadband of up to 300Mbps and TV everywhere.

GVD has about 7,500 members of which 4,700 take broadband services from the association.
