NEW YORK, April 12, 2007 - Crisp Wireless, a mobile technology solutions and
services company, and Internet Broadcasting, the nation's largest publisher of
local news online, today announced the launch of 29 mobile Web sites, creating
one of the nation’s largest mobile networks of local TV station sites.
The sites will offer local breaking news, updated headlines, current weather
conditions, forecasts, live radar, updated sports scores and other regional and
national content while allowing for prominent advertising banners, sponsorships,
and “microsites.” Internet Broadcasting and its partner stations will sell local
and national advertising for the sites.
Crisp Wireless builds, hosts and maintains mobile websites for leading media
companies, print publishers and Web properties. Crisp Wireless’ proprietary technology
platform, mLogic™, offers robust device detection and handset optimization to
ensure the highest quality end-user experience. The mLogic platform also supports
mobile advertising, enabling customers the opportunity to easily monetize mobile
Web sites.
“One of the largest categories of mobile web consumption is local news and weather
forecasts, since consumers use their mobile device to stay connected,” said Boris
Fridman, CEO of Crisp Wireless. “By leveraging trusted local television properties,
Internet Broadcasting makes local content more meaningful to the end user and
will attract the same brands who advertise online.”
“Consumers value local content for news that affects their daily lives,” said
Julie Burrows, Internet Broadcasting’s EVP of marketing, research, and product
development. “Whether it’s from TV, online or now mobile, our partnership with
Crisp Wireless enables us to provide them with valuable information whenever they
want, wherever they are. Also, advertisers will now have a new platform on which
to reach these highly desirable consumers.”
