Mobile and Internet content services provider, Mobile Streams, has signed a licensing deal with mobile entertainment retailer, FoneStarz Media, for distribution of its content on channels Australia and New Zealand and Western Europe.
FoneStarz Media CEO, Dave Moreau, said the

including video content from the world famous cartoon animation, Mr
Bean, and the spoof of Japanese gameshows, Banzai, as well as comedy
voicetones from popular artists including Peter Kay, Mr T and Dawn

Moreau said that through the company’s extensive hosted and managed
services portfolio, the full range of entertainment content will be
available to network operators in Australia and New, and the UK,
Ireland, Austria, South Africa and Egypt.

Streams has in its portfolio. This is good news for the customers of
the channels we manage – the aim is always to give them the best and
most up-to-date mobile entertainment experience possible.”
Mobile Streams’ SVP content operations, Arnd Aschentrup, said that
