Zain, OSN partner to bring premium TV content to customers

Zain customers in Kuwait and Bahrain can now subscribe to OSN's premium TV content following a strategic partnership announced today between Zain Group, a pioneer of mobile telecommunications in the Middle East and North Africa, and OSN, the region's leading pay-TV network.

Zain customers in Kuwait and Bahrain can purchase OSN subscriptions and services directly from Zain retail stores along with the mobile operator's regular selection of communication services.

The partnership also opens up access to digital TV entertainment with Zain customers gaining access to premium and exclusive Arabic and English entertainment anytime, anywhere on a number of devices through OSN Play, the region's first online TV viewing platform. OSN Play will be offered as part of a special package with Zain's high-speed broadband services.

Zain Group plans to roll out similar initiatives in new markets allowing its large base of customers to enjoy more services as well as the convenience of subscribing to telecommunication and TV entertainment services from a single retail point.

Zain and OSN stand to benefit mutually through the partnership given the operator's impressive and well established distribution networks across its markets of operation and the network's digital entertainment services.

Hisham Akbar, Zain Group Deputy CEO and COO, said, "At Zain we always look to excel in the offer of new and innovative services, and this agreement demonstrates the extent to which we are delivering cutting edge technologies."

He continued, "We have an unyielding desire within Zain to acquire and commercialize new products and business models. We are confident that this partnership will help push the boundaries of integration between mobile communications and premium entertainment in order to meet and surpass our customers' passion for these new kind of experiences."

David Butorac, CEO of OSN, said, "The strategic partnership with leading telecom brand, Zain, will provide the most extensive range of exclusive and premium TV entertainment bundled with the latest communication services. We recently launched five new channels and have expanded our HD line-up which is currently the largest in the region giving customers more to look forward to. Customers will not only benefit from OSN's fantastic content and Zain's world class technology, but also the convenience of one place to shop."
