Telkom prepares for streaming platform

17 September 2024

According to Telkom Consumer CEO Lunga Siyo said the company is building its own ‘content mall,’ bringing together different video streaming services at a lower price than subscribing to each specific offering.

"Instead of investing to become a content producer, we decided to create a content shopping centre. So we become the access. On our platform, you can subscribe to these platforms for a fee that can be lower than if you subscribed directly," said Siyo.

According to Telkom, the most popular platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ will be available in its new offer. The announcement confirms a new attempt to diversify into the audiovisual sector.
