Singapore, November 13th 2024 – Whale TV™ and TPV today announced the extension of their strategic partnership to build and maintain easy to use and affordable smart TVs.

Next to managing and monetizing the existing installed base, Whale TV and TPV will work hand in hand to expand their market share in various regions including Asia, Middle East and Africa.
