MODERATI AND OASYS TO JOINTLY EVALUATE AND DEPLOY
RINGERS AND WALLPAPERS FOR SPRINT
Unique industry-leading arrangement ensures that Sprint customers receive the best and most current content available
Raleigh, NC and San Francisco, CA (August 14, 2006) - Oasys Mobile, Inc. (OTCBB: OYSM) and Moderati today announced that they have been selected by Sprint (NYSE: S) to manage the content aggregation of Sprint's ringers and wallpapers. Sprint chose Oasys Mobile and Moderati as its "Agent Partners" based on the companies' successful track records launching consumer products and strong expertise with mobile content and services.
"Sprint continues to lead the mobile-content industry through this unique partnership with Oasys Mobile and Moderati that streamlines the process to distribute our ringers and wallpapers in the shortest time to market. This process allows our customers to receive the highest quality, most varied and most current selection of ringers and wallpapers possible," said Alana Muller, director of entertainment product marketing, Sprint.
Oasys Mobile and Moderati will serve as gatekeepers for developers wishing to provide ringers and wallpapers on Sprint phones. Sprint will continue to work directly with major media and strategic content partners, but will work through Oasys and Moderati in dealings with indirect content partners. The two companies will be an integral part of the entire content deployment lifecycle, from reviewing proposed content, making recommendations to Sprint, licensing the content from the rights holder, formatting and testing the content, presenting it to Sprint for final approval and pushing it live to customers.
Content companies who wish to have their content available through Sprint should contact either Oasys Mobile at www.oasysmobileinc.com or sprint@oasysmobile.com or Moderati at bizdev@moderati.com or www.moderati.com.
