RealNetworks Buys Sony Division For Mobile Media Technology
RealNetworks is buying mobile companies outside of the U.S. in an attempt to gain market share in the global wireless industry. The company hopes its bet on mobile content will pay off. Right now RealNetworks is barely breaking even, with its second quarter results below estimates. In addition to buying Sony NetServices, RealNetworks this week also inked a deal with Vodafone to support its mobile music services in Europe. Last year RealNetworks bought WiderThan, a South Korean firm whose platform distributes downloadable music and ringtones to cell phones. What do you think? Is RealNetworks' decision to bet on mobile content smart? « FCC Gives iPhone Thumbs Up: Guess That Means Apple Will Make The June Deadline | Main | We're Taking A Field Trip In Second Life » |
