“Figures
show that the number of people who listen to music via streaming apps
has risen by 15 folds over the past year. Regular users
of music streaming services would use an average of 1.2 GB mobile data
per month to listen to online music alone. As a mobile broadband service
provider with full of dynamism, dtac always caters our services to
consumer behaviors. We are therefore taking yet
another bold move to unleash digital limit, introducing the new ‘dtac MUSIC INFINITE’ service to privilege dtac customers and delight the digital generations who have a passion for music.”
“dtac MUSIC INFINITE
will bring great pleasure to music lovers in the digital generation,
giving them an ultimate experience of
worry-free music streaming and the freedom to enjoy music from their
favorite artists without the boundary of record labels,” he continued. “With no mobile data charge
from the data quota in their service plans, the users can enjoy music
streaming
via seven leading apps—Apple Music, COOLISM, Deezer, JOOX, KKBOX, LINE
MUSIC and TIDAL. It is the game changer that will unleash digital limit
of mobile music streaming. Plus, this service truly is the digital
disruption that will enrich the lifestyle of consumers.
By launching this service, dtac is the first and the only digital
service provider in Thailand to make music streaming accessible to
consumers anywhere, anytime, and without data charge.”
