FirstNews Briefs for Feb. 17, 2009

By Staff Author | February 17, 2009

• Motorola isn’t showing off any new Android handsets at Mobile World Congress, but it did deploy an LTE network over which it is demonstrating live LTE experiences on the streets of Barcelona. During the Motorola LTE drive tour, visitors are driven around to experience the performance of LTE in a real-life metropolitan RF environment, including site-to-site hand-over.

• MobiTV says it surpassed 6 million subscribers on its managed mobile media service. Available on more than 350 handsets across 20 carrier networks, MobiTV works with AT&T and Alltel in the United States.

• Mobile operators believe SMS will become the enabler that underpins next generation advanced services, according to a survey conducted by Direct2Mobile on behalf of Airwide Solutions. The operators that were surveyed claimed that they are seeking to use the investment they have made in developing their mobile messaging infrastructure to introduce value-added services such as mobile social networking, mobile applications, mobile broadband, IM- and presence-based services and the mobile Internet.  

• Mojiva has added “single-click” purchasing power to advertisements on its mobile ad network, thanks to a new partnership with Billing Revolution, a mobile payments and billing solutions company. Consumers and merchants can instantly buy what they see in a mobile ad.

• Maximizer Software debuted Maximizer CRM 10.5 Freedom for BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM), enabling one-click, one-touch access to customer and sales information. The release was unveiled at the opening day of GSMA Mobile World Congress.
