Consumer Cellular, a national GSM-based MVNO headquartered in Portland, Oregon, is one of the nation’s largest MVNOs. Under the terms of this multi-year agreement, within the next few months Consumer Cellular will deploy ClearSky’s downloadable content bundle of products and services that includes ProPortal™, ProVantage™, ProVision™, and RevShare integrated support systems. Taken together, this portfolio of products and services will enable Consumer Cellular to offer its subscribers a broad range of downloadable content including ringtones from major labels such as Universal Music Group, SonyBMG, EMI and Disney, as well as wallpapers, screen savers, games and video clips. "Consumer Cellular has been eager to implement comprehensive mobile data services in an effort to provide our customers with the best possible mobile experience," said John Marick, Consumer Cellular CEO. "However, as an MVNO, we must consider the technical complexity required to achieve full integration between our underlying carrier, our content services partner (ClearSky), and ourselves. For this reason, it was imperative for Consumer Cellular to select a service provider that not only had a compelling content catalog, but also the experience and technical expertise required to effectively integrate their products and services with a top tier, national carrier." "We are delighted to welcome Consumer Cellular to our growing client community comprised of wireless carriers, MVNEs and MVNOs," said ClearSky’s executive vice president of sales, Tony Tagliareni.
