They aim to create a conducive and enabling environment for the content industry to encourage creativity and directly distribute content to the audience, enabling them to earn reasonable and deserved pay.
The company has launched new digital entertainment applications that will play a key role in digitalizing and revolutionizing the nation’s entertainment industry.

This will empower users’ creativity, expand their mental horizons, acquire new knowledge, and heal their souls with the contents provided with partners.
Four value-added services were launched today, including IPTV/OTT video streaming service, which provides customers with a variety of content ranging from live TV programs, drama, series movies to various premium videos. Customers can subscribe to the service by sending OK to 9433 or subscribing through Habeshaview Mobile App/Web, settling the payment via telebirr and easily accessing the service on their mobile, TV, and computers over the internet.
Sewasew Music Streaming is another value-added service that brings music fans a unique digital experience. It allows them to connect with local and international modern and classical music artists in one place. With high-quality streaming and affordable pricing, music lovers can enjoy unlimited online and offline songs. Users can choose their preferred songs as their caller ring back tone (CRBT). Customers can subscribe to the service via the Telebirr SuperApp or by sending “A” or “B” to 9107 for daily and weekly packages.
Two new mobile games, Telegames Appland, and Telewin, have also been launched.
