PR Newswire customers' press releases will be made available on Contec's BUZmob™ mobile publishing service alongside its portfolio of up-to-the minute sports, news, financial, entertainment, media and blog channels. Future upgrades to the service are expected to include distribution of PR Newswire customers' photos and multimedia assets through the BUZmob platform.

Contec's customers - international mobile operators and wireless service providers - deliver up-to-the-minute news from organizations around the world to their mobile subscribers, helping to increase traffic consumption and user loyalty. The addition of PR Newswire content will greatly enhance Contec's live news offering. By adding the PR Newswire feed to their BUZmob Personal Page, mobile business users can research individual companies by name or by stock ticker, and mobile consumers will be able to subscribe to topical news feeds such as technology, medicine, sports and entertainment, in a variety of languages.

"Distributing PR Newswire content through BUZmob's content portfolio will give our customers the opportunity to reach new audiences around the world including those in emerging markets, where mobile data penetration is often higher than that of the Internet," commented Joshua B. Cohen, director of Content Licensing & Distribution, PR Newswire. "We continually strive to make our content available to our customers' audiences wherever they are and in whatever format the audience desires. The BUZmob publishing service can deliver seamless universal access to our news content across all mobile devices and all mobile networks, making Contec a terrific partner for us."

"Bringing on board the global leader in commercial news distribution provides our network of mobile operators and partners a first-class source for the delivery of business, industry and topical news, in a variety of languages, to their millions of subscribers," commented Don Lay, president and CEO of Contec Innovations. "We are extremely pleased to have PR Newswire join our BUZmob content network and look forward to distributing PR Newswire's content in the emerging markets."
