66g.com, one of the largest portals offering media rich mobile content targeting the GCC market and has been successful in building a considerable base of loyal registered users as well as a large network of content generators and contributors. This is particularly important as it greatly supports d1g's suite of socially connected services.

Furthermore, integrating 66g.com services within d1g will provide online regional advertisers with a new unique and powerful digital outlet to effectively reach and better service their consumers.
