Telenors Djuice.com and "TAC" (Total Access Communication) in Thailand have signed an ASP (Application service provider) agreement concerning the development, establishment, promotion and marketing of a mobile Internet portal for the Thai market: Djuice.co.th.
Djuice.co.th provides both an English and a Thai language version, and in the local portal a large number of Wireless Application Protocol ("WAP") and Personal Digital Assistant ("PDA") links are available.
"This is the first agreement that Djuice have signed. It is the first step in creating a powerful network leveraging technology leadership and brand power on a global basis", says Arve Johansen, CEO of Telenor Mobile Communications.
The Djuice co-operation will enable TAC to launch its full function mobile portal service within this year. TAC will be able to offer global mobile portal quality with local flavours to its customers to enhance its services. Along with its network quality and abundant spectrum, TAC will be a clear leader in Mobile Internet in Thailand.
The parties have signed an ASP agreement and this is intended to be the first step towards a Joint Venture structure with Djuice.co.th, which is expected to be established as a local entity next year.
The portal has "ready to use" menus for users in different segments: youth, business andstandard. TACwill define a set of content links and menu hierarchies targeted for each segment. In addition the customer can configure a "MyDjuice" version that allows a personalized menu to be created (Drag and Drop functionality offers an easy and intuitive way of adding services to the personal menu), the other services are email, calendar and search engine.
New functionalities will be added in the coming months, which will include community solutions, advanced content management, customer insights, mCommerce (Low Value Digital Content) and many others exiting new services. The local Djuice entity will create incremental revenues from the increased traffic generated due to the portal and from services and content of the portal. The Djuice network philosophy is based on a revenue-sharing model.
