Digital entertainment services company RealNetworks has transitioned the music service for mobilkom austria groups (MAG) Si.mobil to its platform, adding all-you-can-eat functionality and upgrading the service to Reals mobile and PC client interface. This is the second deployment under Reals 4-year agreement with MAG.
After seeing significant growth in both downloads and music subscribers enjoyed by our sister company, A1 in Austria, we are eager to launch our music service on the Real platform, says Si.mobil Marketing Director, Peter Curk. RealNetworks UI is clean and simple, and the platform is flexible enough to offer innovative pricing models for our subscribers, making it the obvious choice for success in mobile music.
Si.mobil offers a bundled plan, ORTO MUZIQ, which includes unlimited music, free in-network calls, 1,001 SMS messages, 1,001 MMS messages, access to the Vodafone live! portal and 100MB of data for 15/month (13). Alternatively, subscribers can choose to access the revamped MUZIQ portal, where they can choose full-track downloads on their handsets or PCs from variety of genres and artists.
Real also powers the music services that make mobile music available to hundreds of millions of subscribers in Europe, including mobilkom austria groups A1 in Austria, and Vodafone music stores in nine countries, including the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Greece, The Netherlands, Romania and Spain.
In total, Reals ASP services are currently available through 83 different mobile operators in 45 countries worldwide.  Real offers mobile operators a selection of mobile services, including music; video; personalisation features such as Ringtones, Ringback Tone and multimedia Ringback services; and messaging services.
