-- KDDI(東証:9433)は、ベトナム郵政通信グループ(VNPT)との提携を通じて、今年後半にベトナムでモバイルサービスを開始し、消費者向け市場への進出を図る計画だと、日経新聞が金曜日に報じた。 報道によると、両社はKDDIの「povo2.0」サービスで採用されているオンラインプリペイドモデルを活用した新ブランドを展開し、ユーザーが必要に応じてデータを購入できるようにする予定だという。 KDDIは技術面と運用面でのサポートを提供し、銀行口座を持たないユーザーが多いベトナム市場で、低価格のプリペイド方式が普及すると見込んでいる。 今回の動きは、昨年締結された提携関係に基づくもので、この提携の下での初の小売向けモバイルサービス事業への進出となる。KDDIはまた、VNPTと連携して、通信サービスと金融・小売を連携させたリワードプログラムなどを通じて、より広範なエコシステムを構築する計画だと報じられている。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話から得られた情報に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
