RALEIGH, N.C. & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14,
2006--Oasys Mobile, Inc. (OTCBB: OYSM) and Moderati today announced
that they have been selected by Sprint (NYSE: S) to manage the content
aggregation of Sprint's ringers and wallpapers. Sprint chose Oasys
Mobile and Moderati as its "Agent Partners" based on the companies'
successful track records launching consumer products and strong
expertise with mobile content and services.
“Sprint continues to lead the mobile-content industry through this
unique partnership with Oasys Mobile and Moderati. It streamlines the
process to distribute our ringers and wallpapers in the shortest time
to market. This process allows our customers to receive the highest
quality, most varied and most current selection of ringers and
wallpapers possible,” said Alana Muller, director of entertainment
product marketing, Sprint.
Oasys Mobile and Moderati will serve as gatekeepers for developers
wishing to provide ringers and wallpapers on Sprint phones. Sprint
will continue to work directly with major media and strategic content
partners, but will work through Oasys and Moderati in dealings with
indirect content partners. The two companies will be an integral part
of the entire content deployment lifecycle, from reviewing proposed
content, making recommendations to Sprint, licensing the content from
the rights holder, formatting and testing the content, presenting it
to Sprint for final approval and pushing it live to customers.
Content companies who wish to have their content available through
Sprint should contact either Oasys Mobile at www.oasysmobileinc.com or
sprint@oasysmobile.com or Moderati at bizdev@moderati.com or
www.moderati.com.
