Singtel reports it will tap on its telecommunications assets, knowledge of its local markets in Asia and mobile customer base of more than 700 million to explore opportunities for esports fans and gamers. As more than 200 million customers across the Group play games on a regular basis, Singtel, Optus, Airtel, AIS, Globe and Telkomsel plan to work together to develop services for gamers and fans in the region. This includes access to high quality local, regional, and global esports competitions, as well as original content and exclusive programming.
Singtel is collaborating with Optus and regional associates Airtel, AIS, Globe and Telkomsel to build an ecosystem of digital services such as mobile payments and gaming for customers. Earlier this month, the Singtel Group extended its mobile wallet service Singtel Dash to be used overseas and announced the launch of VIA, its cross-border mobile payment alliance, with AIS and Thai digital bank Kasikornbank. According to Singtel, this payment alliance will be progressively expanded to include other regional associates and non-telcos.
