Our next event is set for March 16th at the Designing Studio with a couple of great presentations and mega mixer afterwards at the Wired Cafe. Considering the ‘current economic situation’, see this fantastic keynote by Anssi Vanjoki for MoMo Peer Awards at MWC in Barcelona, we are inspired and agreed – these are the times when winners are made.. 😎
A few notes of interest: We are thrilled to announce our co-op on related industry upcoming events with the Inter-Embassy Mobile Forum and the good folks at AdTech. We have added links here for our FaceBook and Linkedin groups while the new MoMo Ambassador team is hard at work planning our next event targeted for May 18th. See you all again soon!

The ‘au Box’ service was launched by KDDI late last year allowing subscribers to easily connect their keitai with the fixed-line internet to buy, transfer and enjoy music and video contents. With around 1.3 million songs and 5,000 videos on LISMO now available for download and playback on the device, or their TV set, users can also pull content recorded on CDs and forward to compatible au mobile phones as well. Customers with the ‘Hikari-one TV service’ also have access to various forms of video content such as multi-channel broadcasts.
