VANCOUVER, BC Aug. 21, 2008 -- Contec
Innovations Inc., a global mobile services provider,
today
announced Justel, a leading service provider to China Unicom, has
launched the English Premier League soccer services as a subscription
service, powered by BUZmob™.
Mr. Yin Xinyu, CEO of Justel, commented on the agreement, "We are
delighted to be working with Contec on the delivery of live mobile
sports content. This in-demand and authoritative content, delivered to
virtually any mobile device, adds the next generation of services and
complements the games, ringtone, and social community features we
provide to mobile subscribers across China."
This new service offers China Unicom's 180 million subscribers with
live news, action photos, live match-day coverage, team line ups,
scores, and team and player profiles - rendered for every handset.
Chinese television audiences for Premier League matches frequently
number in the hundreds of millions, making this live mobile service a
very compelling offer.
"Commercially launching the Premier League service with Justel is a
great start to feeding China's surging appetite for global sports
information," said Don Lay, President and CEO of Contec. "Mobile data
services are well entrenched. Last year China Unicom generated
approximately $3 billion in value-added service revenue while text
messaging volume itself reached a staggering 92 billion messages. Our
live service will undoubtedly find a market that is keen for
up-to-the-minute soccer news and is already accustomed to using mobile
data services."
