NeuStar Reports Mobile Messaging Milestone
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
NeuStar announced that it has reached a milestone in the development of
mobile instant messaging (IM) globally, having delivered 3 billion
mobile IM messages across its servers.
NeuStar is a provider of mobile IM services to 29 mobile operators in
20 countries.
Allen Scott, general manager of NeuStar Next Generation Messaging,
said, "This is an important moment for mobile IM because it marks a
significant step toward this service becoming a mainstream mobile
application and a core service offering. It has taken just over a year
to reach this milestone, and we know from the growth of IM in recent
months that activity is accelerating in terms of both the number of
messages and the number of active users worldwide."
Scott continued: "The mobile industry has been incredibly dynamic for
the last 20 years, but the take-up of mobile IM from a standing start
has exceeded that of all previous mobile applications."
NeuStar mobilizes traditional Internet-based IM solutions, such as
Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger, and enables operators to
launch their own advanced mobile messaging services.
