THE Walesi OTT Mobile App was launched in Suva today by the Attorney-General and Minister for Communication Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
With the high penetration of smart phones globally including Fiji, the app comes in handy for people to watch live television from their phones through the new app.
The app also comes as the country transitions to digital TV.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said around 82,000 had switched on to Walesi out of the 120,000 households which have access to television in the country.
“The OTT we are lunching today, it is a potential revenue not just for the internet providers but also an opportunity for television companies as well,” Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said.
The app is available now for download free of charge on Play Store for Android phones and Apple Store for iPhone users.
