Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition extends SEVEN's leadership in the mobile email sector. SEVEN now has a leading customer base consisting of 45 operator customers across 30 countries, with a combined total addressable market of over 360M mobile subscribers."</i><br /><br />This is good news for Smartner, who has been building momentum in the Always-On-Email world. It sure looks like everyone is running hard to win this market. As the war heats up, the next year or so will be very interesting. :)
