Leading regional carrier will be among first to offer mobile advertising to its growing subscriber base to maximize data ARPU
April 27, 2009 (Orlando, Fla.) - ClearSky Mobile Media, Inc., a leading provider of managed mobile data services and content to
wireless carriers, today announced a new long-term contract with Carolina West Wireless (CWW) for its suite of wireless content
and data services. CWW, headquartered in Wilkesboro, NC, was established in 1991. Since its inception, CWWs active involvement
in both the CTIA and the Rural Cellular Association (RCA) have positioned the company as a thought leader and vanguard among regional
carriers in the United States.
CWW plans to deploy an array of ClearSkys products and services including:
- Hosted WAP Gateway service
- Content Management and Distribution System, and
- WAP-based mobile advertising
The deployment of ClearSkys new Wireless Ad Insertion Framework (WAIF) will reinforce CWWs position as a pioneer among the nations
regional carriers. The WAIF product will allow CWW to create and manage campaigns on subscriber WAP pages, creating unique revenue opportunities.
Taken together, these products and services will enable CWW to enhance its revenue opportunities by offering its subscribers access to the mobile web
and downloadable content, and by revenue generated from local and national mobile advertising.
Carolina West has put into motion several strategic initiatives that, when completed, will dramatically improve our ability to provide superior
service to our ever growing subscriber base, as well as effectively compete with top tier carriers, said Slayton S. Stewart, CWW Chief Executive Officer.
One of our priorities is to position CWW so that our data offering is at least on par with national carriers. We believe Clearsky helps us achieve this goal.
ClearSky highly values each of its existing clients and celebrates the addition of new clients because each new client represents an endorsement of our products,
services and business model, said ClearSky executive vice president of sales, Tony Tagliareni. That said, we are especially delighted to count CWW among
our growing list of clients due to their stature in the industry, and their leadership position among regional carriers.
