netless


Explanation:
"netitön" means literally "net-less", i.e. someone or something without internet (but not so sure how this pertains to corporate image though!).

Thanks, Melina! "Netitön" was an oral answer about the corporate image of a company - it might also mean "no Internet identity"

agree  Rogier Blokland (X): I've only seen/heard it used by people who were (temporarily) without Internet access. In reference to a company's corporate image??

neutral  Susanna Neiglick: Depends on the context, but IMHO 'netitön' does not necessarily imply that internet services have been lost for some reason. They may not have been utilised in the first place.
