Orange, Canal Plus Afrique
Digital TV Europe reports.
The operator has teamed with Orange to enable mobile customers to pay for Canal Plus and Canalsat services using the Orange Money service.
It will introduce Orange Money in Madagascar in June, before rolling out to other African markets by the end of the year.
Orange Money is making life easier for a large number of people in Africa, where 60% of the population has a mobile phone but less than 10% has a bank account, StarAfrica.com, states.
It has been released in nine countries - Botswana, Cameroon, C^ote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Mali, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger and Senegal - and already boasts more than 3.5 million customers.
Canal Plus Afrique is present in more than 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and provides its subscribers with a variety of TV channel packages, which can either be prepaid or paid through direct debit, Telecom Paper says.
Orange Money will provide added flexibility for these customers by providing a way for them to pay their bills via their mobile phones.
