IQSTEL Digital's First Platform Integration Step and Microdrama Distribution Plans

According to the filing, IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ:IQST) reported that its Digital Services Division has achieved what the company described as "an important commercial milestone." On October 8, 2026, IQSTEL had announced that IQSTEL Digital initiated commercial outreach to seven mobile operators with combined subscriber bases totaling approximately 93 million. The company disclosed that just over one month later, one of those operators approved advancing from outreach to platform integration.

The company disclosed that the potential subscriber projection of up to 105,000 is based on assumptions from its previously disclosed illustrative model: gross penetration of up to approximately 1.25% of the operator's subscriber base, equating to approximately 175,000 gross paying subscriptions, of which 60%, or up to approximately 105,000, are assumed to remain active paid monthly subscriptions. The filing stated explicitly that these figures "do not represent existing subscriptions, committed customers or guaranteed results" and that actual performance depends on successful integration, commercial arrangements, launch timing, and customer acquisition and retention.

The company's business model, as described in the filing, combines short-form mobile entertainment with operator distribution channels and recurring subscriptions, with the stated objective of generating additional revenue streams and potentially higher-margin contributions. Leandro Iglesias, President and CEO of IQSTEL, was quoted in the filing saying, "When an operator decides to integrate our platform, it is a clear signal that our commercial proposal is attractive to mobile operators." The company said it expects to share additional developments before the end of 2026, subject to commercial progress and appropriate disclosure considerations. The filing contains forward-looking statements subject to the company's cautionary language and the risks described in its regulatory filings, including its most recent Form 10-K and subsequent Forms 10-Q.
