News and ebooks mobile application Dailyhunt is in talks with telecom major BSNL to facilitate a tie-up so that users can make online payments for buying e-books, its co-founder and CEO Virendra Gupta today said.
"We are in touch with BSNL and I expect the deal to come about by December this year or January next year," he told PTI here.
The existing mobile network operators are covering 80 to 85 per cent of addressable market and with the tie-up with BSNL, Dailyhunt aims to cover another 12 per cent of it, he added.
"With the existing mobile network operators that we have, we are covering 80 to 85 per cent of the addressable market. If we get BSNL, we will get 10-11 per cent - we will then be broadly covering everybody," he said.
