SAMENA Council has announced that DT One, the world's leading B2B mobile airtime and data top-up provider, joins its membership of top-notch regional and global ICT industry players. Operating in over 160 countries, DT One interconnects in excess of 600 telecom operators ,with a digital connectivity customer base of over five billion mobile users. DT One is now part of SAMENA’s network of telecom operators, service providers, internet companies, technology manufacturers, and specialist firms which are enabling telecom operators to make the most of their infrastructure investments and fulfill national digital development goals.
Mr. Bocar BA, CEO & Member of the Board of SAMENA Council, congratulating DT One on the decision to become a member of the Council, stated: "We warmly welcome DT One to SAMENA Council's diverse membership of service and technology providers, all of which share common interests and business objectives with telecom operator members of the Council, especially with respect to the collective objective of delivering better access to digital communications worldwide. In DT One, SAMENA Council sees a state-of-the-art partner and a key enabler of digital communications services, which can substantially contribute to bringing connectivity to the still unconnected. This is an important milestone that must be fulfilled in accordance with the globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SAMENA Council shares DT Ones objective of fostering better collaboration with telecom operators as well as with the private sector in general. As such, DT One’s participation in the membership affairs of the Council will help create new synergies to help drive better value, improve business prospects, benefit end-users, and meet ICT development goals set forth under national ICT visions around the region."
“DT One is delighted to be part of the SAMENA council and have a seat at the table with so many respected telecom market players in shaping the future of the industry. We look forward to sharing our knowledge and experience with the council and adding value to all the members in this ecosystem”, says Thierry Siminger, Chief Commercial Officer of DT One. “We believe that DT One’s experience in building a global network for mobile top-up and data solutions, bill payments and rewards as well as integrating with multiple telecoms in vastly diverse markets will benefit all members of the council”.
SAMENA Council believes that — while policies and co-operative approaches can help develop new methods and models of engagement; help frame future-friendly regulations and policies — essentially, it is the involvement of diverse technology providers and innovative service providers that contributes to improved understanding of priorities, needs, and incentives required by the Industry.
The digital ecosystem's sustainability challenges and the need for making better use of digital technologies, therefore, demand that Operators and Technology Providers and Service Providers, such as DT One, collectively communicate on common issues and needs, while supporting SAMENA Council to conduct advocacy exercises and build communication bridges among private-sector entities as well as with regional governments.
