You can view Tuluntulu anywhere.

One of the many reasons that Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) - South Africa's largest member based gaming organisation - chose to partner with Tuluntulu is that Tuluntulu can be accessed anywhere.

With the low data useage, Tuluntulu is perfect for Africa, and we already know that the MSSA Channel is being viewed by gamers in Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia, Egypt, and Tunisia.

However. MSSA's Channel is also being viewed in South Korea.

Of course data issues are not even a consideration in South Korea due to the country's commitment to its people, education, and infrastructure.

Nevertheless, Leopold Chung (of the International be-Sports Federation's Secretariat) took time to view the channel.

This means, for the first time ever, that there is a channel broadcasting news, views, and interviews of the official body's events, members, athletes, and opinion to all corners of the globe.
