KDDI Digital Life of Japan has bagged the Telecom Company of the Year in the Asian Telecom Awards. The awards programme aims to recognise telco companies that stand out and were able to navigate their way despite various challenges in the market whilst providing relevant and award-winning products and services to their clients. 

Launched on September 29, 2021, KDDI Digital Life in Japan launched “povo2.0,” a new mobile and customisable plan with simple UI and UX for digital generation in Japan. Customers can enjoy "topping services" on top of the base plan of 0 JPY, according to individual users’ lifestyles.

The platform of povo2.0 is based on cloud-based technology that enables them to provide suitable product offerings via data-driven marketing so that they can quickly update their products and app based on customer behaviour.

KDDI Digital Life contributes to making services and marketing initiatives in Japan market whilst Circles Asia provides service concepts and UI and UX based on their own experience globally. 

“This has been a big challenge for all team members, but we have realised to launch new services in Japan as one team. We are continuously trying to make great customer experiences for povo users,” Toshiro Akiyama, CEO of KDDI Digital Life said.

Before the launch of “povo2.0”, the original “povo” brand had a base plan of 20GB. However, according to customers' feedback and data analysis results, KDDI Digital Life decided to upgrade their plan because they believe that the 20GB base plan is not enough for all customer needs.

With the topping services option, customers can also enjoy different services depending on their preference which they can purchase with a one-time fee.
