povo2.0, the digital telco brand launched between Circles and KDDI Corporation, successfully launched ‘povo Data Oasis” on November 19, 2024. Marking a new era of connectivity in Japan, povo users can now enjoy free data access across all 14,000 Lawson stores and 47 prefectures in Japan. This not only enables seamless connectivity for millions of Japanese users on the go, but also redefines customer experiences with elevated digital lifestyles, everyday convenience and retail innovations.
This initiative is part of a capital and business alliance between KDDI, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Lawson to create a "Real x Tech LAWSON" (convenience store of the future) that combines brick-and-mortar stores with technology. povo was selected for and entrusted with this mandate with its agile business model, highest customer satisfaction and constant innovations to drive higher customer value, loyalty and growth - and as Japan’s 1st 100% 5G digital telco.
