What Telecoming does

Telecoming is a privately held Spanish digital services technology company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Madrid, operating at the intersection of telecommunications, mobile payments, content, and marketing. Its core business is built on Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) infrastructure, which enables secure, frictionless mobile transactions through partnerships with leading global telecom operators across more than 20 countries. The company monetizes digital content and services via carrier billing, charging transaction fees on mobile payments processed through its operator network. In parallel, Telecoming operates proprietary sports entertainment platforms, including RM Zone (exclusive Real Madrid content), EFC, and Winsports, generating subscription and content revenue from sports fans worldwide.

The technology stack integrates AI across the full value chain for content generation (RadioGen, MusikGen, and PodcastGen launched in 2026 for automated audio and text creation), personalization, fraud detection, and real-time marketing optimization, supported by partnerships with Evina, Empello, and MCP Insights for mobile payment security and analytics. The company also offers data-driven digital marketing services including audience segmentation, campaign personalization, and fraud-protected advertising. Telecoming is GDPR and CCPA compliant and holds memberships in MEF, IAB Europe, WASPA, AF2M, ASEDIE, GESTE, and Confianza Online. Its go-to-market is primarily B2B2C: enterprise sales to telecom operators for DCB services, supplemented by direct-to-consumer sports platforms and AWS Marketplace distribution. The company has established wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Algeria, Morocco, and South Africa to localize market coverage, with the Johannesburg entity launched in May 2026 as an Africa regional hub for AI-driven digital products.
