Contec Selected To Provide Mobile Content Channels To Mobile-XL.
Vancouver, Canada - August 5, 2008 - Contec Innovations Inc. (TSXV: BUZ), a global mobile
services provider, announced today that Mobile-XL has licensed BUZmobTM to provide various mobile
content channels for its XLBrowser currently being marketed in Africa and the Middle East.
"Mobile-XL has a vision of bridging the digital divide with the provision of high quality content to mobile users in Emerging Markets starting with Africa," said Guy Kamgaing-Kouam, CEO of Mobile- XL. "We recently launched services into Kenya and will be following up with Dubai next month so we are thrilled to have Contec as a mobile content partner -- they have simplified and expedited our path to providing compelling content to our users."
Initial content services provided by BUZmob to Mobile-XL include live weather, world time and finance information. The terms of agreement provide for a monthly fee and volume-based usage.
"Mobile subscribers in emerging markets typically use low cost mobile phones but have an appetite for the same basic information that the markets with ubiquitous Internet access take for granted," shared Don Lay, President & CEO of Contec. "We are delighted to be providing Mobile-XL with mobile content for their XLBrowser initiative using SMS."
