Mobile Internet, The, Dec, 2004

The Mobile Media Company AS (www.MobileMedia.com) announced a partnership with Australian-based Viva la Mobile (www.VivaLaMobile.com) to provide 3G multiplayer games to mobile carriers worldwide. David J. Wong, Executive Vice President and Mobile Media Asia Pacific General Manager, said, "We expect these games to have real appeal among consumers looking for a fun and interactive gaming experience.

By early 2005, a mobile user in Hong Kong will be able to play 'Badlands' in real-time against a gamer in Italy." Gabi Harkham, Director of Viva la Mobile, stated, "We are pleased to be working with Mobile Media. With the increasing pace of 3G network deployments worldwide, Mobile Media's global presence and growing base of 3G customers provide an attractive means of easily and rapidly extending our reach into new markets." Karsten Hauge, CEO of The Mobile Media Company AS, added, "There is huge potential for multiplayer games on mobile devices.

With Viva la Mobile's games, anyone can have a great deal of fun without the need for a dedicated gaming handset. All they need is a regular 3G phone."
