announced today that Mobile-XL has licensed BUZmob™ to provide 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 in 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 powered by BUZmob to Mobile-XL include live weather, world time and finance information. BUZmob covers over 200 content providers, including Agence-France Press, PA Sport, Reuters, United Press International, PR Newswire, Business Wire, AP, and The Sports Network. The terms of agreement provide for a monthly fee and volume-based usage.

"Emerging market mobile subscribers tend to use basic mobile phones but they crave high quality and current information. In many of these markets, access to the Internet is limited and the mobile handset has become the critical link to world and local news, sports and finance information," confirmed Don Lay, President and CEO of Contec. "For these reasons, we are thrilled to be providing Mobile-XL with up-to-the-minute and authoritative mobile content channels suited to all handsets and mobile users."
