Telecom companies have a huge amount of data that can be sold to e-commerce firms, Saudi Telecom Co.’s (STC) Chief Executive Khalid Biyari told Al Arabiya TV.

 

Selling big data through telecom companies will serve key sectors in the new economy, including the e-commerce, cloud computing and the internet of things (IoT), he said Tuesday on the sidelines of the Future Investment Initiative held in Riyadh.

 

“STC is focusing on a full transition to the new economy by investing in new infrastructure that will help take the company into digital economy, “he said.
