Unbelievable Partnership: Blockchain and Telecom Join Forces in the Philippines! 😂

by

In a rather unexpected twist of fate, World Mobile, that whimsical decentralized mobile network, has decided to shake hands—yes, shake hands!—with DITO CME, the proud parent of Dito Telecom, which boasts a staggering 13 million subscribers. One can only imagine the excitement in the air, as if a cat had just discovered a sunbeam.

The grand ambition of this partnership? To sprinkle the magic of mobile and Internet connectivity over the underserved rural areas of the Philippines, while simultaneously attempting to innovate the local digital finance landscape through the mystical powers of blockchain integration. Who knew connectivity could be so glamorous?

Details of the Collaboration

According to a rather official document shared with CryptoPotato (yes, that’s a real name), this deal is a delightful concoction of DITO CME’s ecosystem and World Mobile’s decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN)—a term that sounds like it was plucked straight from a sci-fi novel.

The primary goal? To deliver high-speed, affordable connectivity to the estimated 25 million Filipinos who currently find themselves in the dark ages of Internet access. Micky Watkins, the CEO of World Mobile Group, had this to say:

“This partnership with DITO CME represents a significant milestone in our mission to democratize access to connectivity across the globe. By leveraging blockchain technology and a decentralized sharing economy model, we can empower communities and provide connectivity solutions that ensure no one is left behind.”

Ah, the noble quest for inclusivity! This collaboration also shines a light on the increasing adoption of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)—a fancy way of saying, “Let’s share everything!” This approach is like a potluck dinner for communities, businesses, and operators, where everyone brings something to the table.

DTaka’s Role

Now, let’s not forget the star of the show: DTaka! This blockchain-powered e-wallet platform is set to make its grand entrance into the DITO CME ecosystem. It promises to provide a stable functionality for remittances and mobile money, along with a utility token for loyalty rewards—because who doesn’t love a good reward for simply existing?

Emmanuel Samson, the CEO of DTaka, declared:

“DTaka is set to revolutionize the e-wallet space in the Philippines, empowering users with a seamless and secure blockchain-powered platform. By combining World Mobile’s expertise in blockchain and DITO CME’s extensive market reach, we are unlocking new opportunities for financial inclusion.”

DTaka’s wallet and application are set to launch on the World Mobile Chain this year, marking a momentous occasion in the Philippines—like the first time someone discovered that you can indeed eat ice cream for breakfast.
