CANNES, France, - fastmobile Inc., the leading push- 2-talk provider, today announced that they have agreed to a major worldwide partnership alliance with IBM, to offer customized push-2-talk solutions along with a full suite of standards based services to operators worldwide.
The service will enable the fastmobile push-2-talk function to be offered either on an ASP basis or installed as a core feature in an operator's network.
Kang Lee, fastmobile President and CEO, said, "This is much more than a partnership agreement.
