ZINGMOBILE AND MOBILEWAY® PARTNER TO OFFER WIDE RANGE
OF RINGTONES, LOGOS TO INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS AND MOBILE
PHONE OPERATORS
Mobileway®, world leading
service provider managing mobile data transactions across
the globe, and ZingMobile, leading provider of licensed
logos and ringtones in Asia, today revealed their co-operation
to offer a wide range of ringtones, logos and picture messages
to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and mobile phone operators
who are looking to augment their products and services range.
"We are thrilled with
the idea of proposing this offer with Mobileway to Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) like Pacific Internet in Singapore
to complement their range of value-added services offered
to subscribers. Mobileway's extensive network coverage,
coupled with international presence allows us to penetrate
the overseas mobile markets with much ease," said Benedict
Paul, Director of Technology, ZingMobile Pte Ltd. "The
Mobileway-ZingMobile partnership is a powerful differentiation
tool for ISPs to develop their services and increase customer
loyalty," he added.
ZingMobile has a comprehensive
library of unique ringtones and logos, while Mobileway provides
the means of delivery. Mobileway ensures seamless, real-time
delivery of animated messages via its unrivalled mobile
network reach. With bilateral commercial contracts in place
with 88 of the world's leading mobile operators, Mobileway
is able to truly deliver a full direct connection service
both on a local level and spanning the globe.
"Our global capability
in both SMS traffic delivery and billing tracking, positions
us as one of the most reliable partners to work with ,"
said Cyrille Even, General Manager and Vice President, Mobileway
Asia Pacific. "SMS is cited as the killer mobile application
across Asia-Pacific. Mobile phone ringtones and icons are
among the most popular and profitable wireless applications.
As we witness the massive growth potential of SMS, a medium
particularly popular among today's increasingly mobile youth,
providing them the capability to send and download animated
messages, logos and ringtones is an enormous revenue generator
for all. Messaging schemes such as this are immensely dependent
upon the efficiency of the delivery, this is a challenge
we rise to and exceed time again."
According to The Yankee Group,
it is estimated that by 2006, Asia-Pacific will represent
50 percent of the global opportunity for wireless Internet,
with 411.2 million mobile data subscribers. A powerful direct
marketing tool, SMS is a technology that is currently under-utilised,
works on existing infrastructure and appliances and is clearly
priced. By the end of 2006, revenues from mobile data services
in the region will amount to USD308.1 billion, or almost
30 percent of all mobile service revenues.
