TORONTO, May 24, 2016 /CNW/ - 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 technology 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."
