    Asked at #APOS about what she's most excited about in coming months, Janice Lee (Viu & PCCW Media Group CEO) said potential new partnerships. "... we've demonstrated staying power... we started early enough that we've built and established a sizable and scalable viewership base, subscriber base, so as new players, or as other players come into the market, or as the market expands, I think some of us can do better by working together. "We welcome opportunities with other streaming services. We are very collaborative. We know what our strength is, so we are not trying to be everything to everyone, and I think that creates room for some of us to work together. That's one thing that I am really looking forward to... We all recognise that it's not easy to gain customers, so we can work together with other folks, whether it's content, whether it's on the platform, we welcome it". #APOSlive Janice Lee Viu ContentAsia
