Hello [Vorname] [Nachname]
Have you already overdosed on football?
You just have to hold out until July 14. That's when the European champions are crowned, but the breather is short. The Super League resumes on July 20/21 - including our favorite club, FC Winterthur. As you know, we are the jersey sponsor of FCW, and from the new season on also of FC Winterthur Women, who managed to stay in the National League B in their second-last match, for which we would like to congratulate them.
Football is a mass phenomenon, but it also has interesting technical aspects for nerds (aka football grouches). In our new blog entry, we take a look at the various aspects of real-time TV broadcasting. Some time ago, we measured how long it takes to transmit the action from the stadium to the TV. We look into the question of why some neighbors cheer before you when the Swiss national team scores a goal. And we show you how you can receive the matches in the best picture quality via multicast, provided you have a Fiber7 connection.
But football is also a popular sport. After the European Championships, neighborhood and village clubs will once again be flooded with countless registrations from girls and boys, who unfortunately end up on waiting lists in many places because there is too little infrastructure and too few coaches. Politicians and volunteers are under a lot of pressure in this regard to ensure that our children become promising young footballers. By the way, Init7 has also been playing football since this season. We now have a team in the Winterthur company league unterklassig.ch. However, our "Squadra Init7" had a rather slow start to the season and we are currently in 7th place in Group B.
In addition to the most beautiful secondary matter in the world, there is also news about the fiber optic expansion. You already know our map ftth.init7.net - it shows the (great!) progress on a daily basis. To do justice to this, we are building countless Fiber7 PoPs throughout Switzerland. You can help us with this. As in previous years, we are once again crowdfunding with the specialist Swisspeers. We are looking for 111 people to lend us 7,000 francs each. You can also help us by recommending Init7 to your friends and acquaintances - our referral program may not be new, but it's good!
Last but not least: We would like to achieve first place in the "Best Provider Private Customers" category of the Bilanz Telekom Rating again this year - it would be the 7th time in a row. Please complete the survey and rate us. Thank you very much for your support.
I wish you, depending on your preference, a great soccer or soccer-free summer!

PS: The Competition Commission published its ruling on the fiber optic dispute a few weeks ago. With 206 pages of reading material and 996 marginal numbers, it's the perfect distraction from the general football frenzy.
