t-online.de is a German news portal, owned and published by digital multi-channel media company Ströer.

In 1995 Deutsche Telekom renamed the Bildschirmtext (BTX) service as "T-Online".

In Spring 2000, T-Online became the first major ISP in Germany to offer a flat-rate dialup plan for consumers.

[3] Until the 21st century, Deutsche Telekom controlled almost all Internet access by individuals and small businesses in Germany.

In addition to acquiring a major news site, the synergy enables Ströer to publish T-Online editorial content via a network of public video screens in shopping malls as well as train and subway stations.
