Request for Answer Clarification by itsmechang-ga on 10 Jan 2003 05:40 PST

This reponse you have provided is based on "wireless applications /
devices such as phones, networks". It is not sms or "wireless
marketing". In order to help, I have provided other sites of the type
of information that I am looking for are http://www.mobileyouth.org/
or http://202.139.241.231/corporate/newsletter5.asp. You will notice
that in all three sample sites provided they all provide "marketing
applications" using SMS or wireless technology. Please focus your
search on this.

marketingfix is sort of a blog; they compile all wireless marketing
related news on the following page –

SMSToday, based in the UK, is not marketing-specific, but it is SMS
specific –

XIAM is an interesting source of mobile messaging applications
incorporating MMS and SMS across a variety of industries –

For more specific answers,please supply more details,like region(e.g.
India)
,target market(e.g entertainment,ticket sales,etc.)In case it is a
general query I shall answer it accordingly

4)www.M-Labs.de

5)www.sykesdevelopment.com

I do not know If this is what you want....There are endless answers to
your question as it is very general.Also check out for www.ril.com
(INDIAS largest mobile supplier.)

I have looked at your suggested sites and none of them accept for
www.wirelessadwatch.com answers the question. The sites provided are
SMS / Wireless companies, but none produce a "newsletter" on the total
industry. please refer to the link above for a flavour of what I am
looking for. I DO NOT want a list of companies simply selling SMS or
wireless applications. I am looking for "newsletters" on the industry.
These can be produced by either companies or industry associations.

If you are looking for specific regions, then UK, Europe, South East
Asia, US and Australia are my preferences. However a "newsletter" on
trends, applications, MMS, SMS, ticketing etc from other countries are
ok too. The key is that it must be in "newsletter" or "industry
report".
