Mobile-XL at West Africa GSM Conference in Abuja.
LOS ANGELES - JUNE, 2008 ?Mobile-XL participated in the West Africa GSM Conference in Abuja,
Nigeria. The Conference provided Mobile-XL a great opportunity to progress its relationships with several
major operators and content providers eager to license this technology.
"Attending these events is always a valuable to stay on top of market trends and further our discussions with key industry players who have expressed an interest in our technology. We understand that as a US company, these markets are usually overlooked. But since our initial partnership with Motorola in 2006, we have decided to have a presence as exhibitor to these shows in order to demonstrate our commitment to Africa and our desire to make a difference" says Guy Kamgaing-Kouam, CEO." The feedback has been overwhelming and we are excited about the prospects. Most major software development houses have shied away from these markets because of the difficult nature of doing business in them. We see this as an opportunity to set ourselves apart and to offer to these markets something that no one else has cared to develop and the masses really need: easy access to information in an easy way".
The Abuja Conference comes on the eve of Mobile-XL's highly anticipated debut of the XLBrowser in Kenya. Fone Xpress will be launching the product to all 30 of its retail locations in July.
The XLBrowser is a mobile application that utilizes SMS to give instant access to information to users in areas with limited internet or WAP technologies.
