FreeCast’s broader strategy
FreeCast positions the RBTI partnership as part of a larger international expansion plan. The company’s Platform‑as‑a‑Service (PaaS) infrastructure supports broadcasters, telecoms, and content creators by offering turnkey streaming solutions that include live TV, FAST (Free Ad‑Supported Streaming Television) channels, video‑on‑demand libraries, premium subscriptions, advertising, payment processing, and customer management.
