Batelco joins GSMA Open Gateway initiative

Indian telcos Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have reportedly sold their stakes in Wi-Fi joint venture Firefly Networks to infrastructure provider iBus for INR90 million (US$1.04 million), after almost two years of looking for a buyer.

Telkom Indonesia’s subsidiary Metra Digital Media (MDMedia), which focuses on digital communications and advertising, has launched a ‘programmatic advertising’ platform that it says leverages telco data to deliver more targeted digital ads.
