for Optus, one of Australia's leading telecommunications and technology

customers to offer a simple user experience and more value from. We found the

right partner in DOCOMO Digital to bring SubHub to market with their proven

track record in direct carrier billing and subscription bundling," Optus Head

services business beyond connectivity, and we are very excited to be a part of
