Aircel
Gurdeep Singh, COO of Aircel, announced that they entered into a partnership with Infosys Technologies to launch a mobile application store in India.
The firm will build a store that will cater to Aircel’s almost 30 million mobile subscribers. For this purpose, Aircel has a white label app store platform, Flypp, to power the shop front. The platform will host mobile apps from an ecosystem of independent software vendors. According to Telecoms, it is unlikely that the apps in the Aircel store will be similar to the apps currently available in the stores like Apple’s and Google’s, as most of Aircel’s subscribers use 2G, and only generate a monthly ARPU of $2.36. What we could expect is mobile money and SMS based payment apps. This could change however when the expected auction of the 3G spectrum in India takes place.
