BreakingSports Delivers Soccer SMS Alerts with Partner, MobileContent.com Limited


TORONTO, May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Breaking Data Corp. (TSXV: BKD) (the "Company" or "Breaking Data") and Enov8 Mobile LLC ("Enov8") are pleased to announce that they have reached a monetization agreement with MobileContent.com Limited, a leading value added service provider in Ghana and West Africa, to deliver Soccer SMS alerts in Ghana. 

MobileContent.com Limited is the leading Ghanaian value-added-service (VAS) provider and the preferred link for music, sports, news, games, health, inspiration etc. on mobile telephony. Its services build a crucial link to entertainment and information for mobile users in Ghana and selected West African markets.  Ghana is its biggest market with over 35 million subscribers.   

With this agreement MobileContent.com Limited will use BreakingSports technology to deliver Soccer SMS alerts from major European leagues via mobile service providers including MTN and Vodafone thereby creating Africa's first natural language processing (NLP) and semantic soccer alert service from trusted sources by category in an automated real-time manner.  Users pay for this value added service and Breaking Data will share revenue with MobileContent.com Limited.

"Breaking Data's technology will make our SMS alerts far superior and incredibly fast," said Conrad Nyuur Group General Manager of MobileContent.com Limited.  "We expect our users will enjoy the full automated and broad range of alerts that this new and robust SMS service will deliver.  I expect this service will be a great catalyst to increase users across our partner networks."

Until now, users only received scoring updates but with BreakingSports technology, the first phase of this service will include game start, goal scored, half-time score, final score, red cards, trades, transfers, injuries and suspensions. 

"We are excited about this revenue generating opportunity in a market where there is a massive user base that pays for SMS and short code information," said Marvin Igelman, CEO of Breaking Data Corp.  "Ghana has a serious soccer crazed audience who, until now, cannot access real-time alerts on a variety of information and from social media.  I believe they will love the automated news and information our tchnology delivers like never before."



The technology integration is scheduled to roll out in the coming weeks.

"Long ago we identified BreakingSports app technology as being unique and fungible, and sports is just the first NLP based service that we plan to bring to market through our partnership with Breaking Data." said Damon Miller, CEO of Enov8 Mobile LLC. "Through our mobile industry relationships, we see lots of opportunities to replicate this model and bring additional revenue and value added data services to mobile operators and mobile VAS providers around the globe."
