SK Telecom Plans Taking Metaverse to Europe
SK Telecom has already started to expand Ifland into international markets. The company signed a deal with Deutsche Telekom- Germany’s largest telecom operator- to introduce a German version of its Ifland metaverse by the end of the year.
The expansion into other European countries may follow after a successful launch in Germany.
SK Telecom reported solid earnings in the first quarter, with the Ifland metaverse seeing an average 1.35 million users in March, local news outlets reported.
Yang Maeng-Seok, head of SK Telecom’s Metaverse, thinks the Ifland metaverse could serve as a new means of communication and community meetings.
With the open platform, we can directly create avatars and spaces, and we plan to expand into 80 countries in the second half of the year, providing support and content transactions based on the crypto-economic system.
In line with advancing its metaverse, the company recently partnered with Morph Interactive to introduce props, avatars, costumes, and spaces.
