Bite GSM Launches Mobile Content Services
Wireless Content Offering Allows Subscribers to
Unwire Web Content and Deliver Information On-Demand
VILNIUS, March 26, 2003 – Bite GSM today announced the availability of a new
mobile messaging service, WebTap™, which can transform any Web content into
customized SMS wireless services.
Through an agreement with Voxline Communications, Inc., Bite can now offer a
solution that addresses the information needs of their subscribers with the
use of a new tool that unwires the Web for content delivery, along with
pre-formatted content via The Associated Press and other local Lithuanian
sources.
“As the number of mobile subscribers continues to climb, on-the-go users are
relying more on their mobile phones for timely wireless communication,” said
Jolita Kurtinaitiene of Bite GSM. “Bite has experienced rapid growth in text
messaging usage. Through WebTap™, mobile users can stay current throughout
the day by receiving the latest breaking news pertaining to their own
interests, whether that’s financials, politics, technology or entertainment
on demand and straight to their mobile phone.”
The WebTap™ mobile content service now makes it possible for users to get
local news, weather forecasts and much more at specified times every day via
SMS messages, all controlled and managed by the user. In addition to
pre-defined content, users can also select the Web content they want to
unwire, and the information is then extracted from the Web and recast in
structured documents (tailored to each individual's needs) and made
accessible instantly for any mobile phone. Users can also specify precisely
when to receive certain information.
“We have good reasons to believe that our innovative content applications
will change the way people use their cell phones today. Partnering with Bite
will give us the right leverage to make this happen for tens of thousands of
mobile users," commented Sandor Fejes, chairman and CEO of Voxline.
WebTap™ will soon be available for MMS users as well, providing not only
text messages but also pictures from all kinds of sources and all over the
world.
