VeriSign to Enable the Mobile Media Experience for BT Fusion6 April 2006
VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN), the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced it is providing mobile content services for BT Fusion -- the world's first seamless fixed and mobile phone service.
The services, including a mobile media portal and customized handset client, will be developed for the new generation of Wi-Fi enabled handsets due to launch on the BT Fusion service later this year. They will feature a wide variety of new content such as branded Java games, video downloads and ringtones.
Other features include personalized content that enables information to be displayed by consumer interests or purchase behaviors, as well as online access to BT's residential and business directory service. BT and VeriSign will be exploring development of future applications and services that complement BT Fusion's strengths.
Steven Evans, CEO for BT's Converged Mobility, said: "BT is committed to giving its customers access to rich high-speed content over its Fusion service and this deal ensures that we will deliver high-value mobile content and applications. We chose to work with VeriSign because we believe they are a leader in their sector both for sourcing rich content and delivering it with the reliability and security we need over their platforms."
"BT is VeriSign's first fixed mobile customer and we are thrilled to be helping it deliver premium mobile content that people can use to personalize their wireless life," said Vernon Irvin, executive vice president and general manager, VeriSign Communications Services.
BT Fusion allows consumers and business users to communicate in ways they never have before. It works like a mobile phone but switches automatically and seamlessly onto a BT Broadband line when callers are home, providing mobile phone convenience and features with fixed line prices and quality.
VeriSign's mobile media enablement services add value to the network by on-boarding, managing and distributing digital goods, services, and applications that engage and entertain mobile subscribers across the globe. Companies that leverage VeriSign's intelligent infrastructure accelerate their ability to launch new services, generate new revenues, and deliver exciting, high-quality experiences to their customers.
