What Google is for search, DIG will be for all things media.
WHO WE ARE
DIGNetwork—the operating name for Digital Infrastructure Group PLC. We are not a streaming service, a retailer, or a marketplace. We are the infrastructure layer that powers the entire global media and entertainment industry: the system beneath every transaction, every rights agreement, every royalty payment, and every content distribution decision made at scale.
...
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, DIGNetwork has spent nearly a decade building what no one else has attempted—a fully integrated, end-to-end Web3 infrastructure platform designed to operate at global scale across telecoms, content owners, broadcasters, and rights holders. Our platform does not disrupt incumbents. It expands what they can do.
VISION
The global media industry is in the middle of its most significant structural transition since the internet. Content owners are losing revenue to opaque systems. Rights are unprotected. Royalties are delayed by months. The move to Web3 is inevitable—but the path has not been clear. DIGNetwork exists to make that transition real. A world where content is traded transparently, royalties are settled instantly, IP is protected on-chain, and every rights holder—regardless of size or geography—has direct access to a global audience. That is the industry we are building toward.
MISSION
To provide the global media and entertainment industry with a neutral, AI-driven, blockchain-based infrastructure platform that removes the friction, opacity, and inefficiency from digital content trade—enabling content owners to monetise at scale, telecoms to deliver world-class media experiences, and the entire industry to transition to Web3 and Immersive Web4 with confidence.
We provide the rails. The industry provides the content. The world provides the audience.
"DIG is a technology-enabler both for content owners and third-party distributors. Content owners have the momentum, motivation, and eagerness towards DIG as the pipe to pass content from their total catalogues through to end-users globally."

WHAT MAKES DIG DIFFERENT
We Are the Utility, Not the Content Owner or Retailer
We are the neutral infrastructure layer—the pipes,
the ledger, the settlement engine—that enables every participant to operate more effectively.
Content owners retain full control of their IP. Telecoms retain their customer relationships. We
power both.
Zero-Cost Blockchain Vaulting
Digital masters are blockchained at zero cost to the
content owner. Every asset is minted as an NFT with immutable smart contracts defining rights,
splits, and distribution rules. No barrier to entry. Piracy becomes structurally impaired.
Real-Time Royalty Settlement
The global media industry loses billions every year to
settlement delays and opaque royalty systems. DIGNetwork replaces that broken cycle with
real-time, automated payment rails that work for everyone in the chain.
Global Telecom Distribution at Scale
Total Addressable Market (TAM) of over 3 billion users through partnerships with up to 58 telecom operators worldwide. Carrier billing integration and white-label SaaS give telecoms a ready-built media ecosystem—with 38 Free-to-Air channels embedded to drive adoption from day one.
Led by Industry Architects
Over 40 years of executive experience across global music, media, and digital industries. Former Senior Director of Marketing and Label Head for Columbia and Epic Records at Sony Music Australia, where he worked with artists including Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, and George Michael. Founder of DIGNetwork, built on the belief that rights holders and content owners deserve full visibility, ownership, and control of their digital assets.
