Monte Carlo-June 5, 2007--Underscoring the growing importance of search solutions that offer mobile operators powerful tools to accelerate subscriber access to mobile-ready content and information, the Mobile Entertainment Forum has announced that Mobile Content Networks (MCN), the Mountain View, CA-based pioneer of Federated Mobile Search, has been awarded a prestigious “Meffy” for its popular FM Radio Music Search application launched with NTT DoCoMo in 2005.
Rimma Perelmuter, Executive Director of the Mobile Entertainment Forum, said, “The Meffys Search and Discovery Award was a new category introduced this year to highlight the great work being done by companies to encourage people to discover and enjoy content on their handsets. MCN's DoCoMo D903i Radio Search service was chosen as the winner by the judging panel for feeding the consumer's 'got to have it now' craving.” For more information see http://www.m-e-f.org/index.php?id=615
