SEOUL, Nov 27 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- SK Telecom Co, a leading South Korean mobile carrier, will join hands with information technology companies from three Southeast Asian countries to expand its metaverse business in the region, company officials said Monday.
SK Telecom signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with Malaysia's Celcom Digi, Indonesia's Agate, and the Philippines' Cosmic Technologies to cooperate for the improvement of its metaverse platform, ifland, in Southeast Asia, according to the officials.
Under the MoUs, SKT will focus on creating global services while its partners develop locally customised content and support local customers, reported Yonhap news agency.
SKT said it has conducted tests for localisation of ifland for the Southeast Asian market since July and is currently developing Indonesian, Malaysian and Hindi language services for the platform as well as a content curation service for users from different regions.
