OZ CEO SKULI MOGENSEN TO KEYNOTE AT ‘PRESENCE, POC AND MOBILE IM CONFERNCET Montreal, Quebec - August 30, 2005 - OZ, the leading developer of mobile messaging solutions, announced today that Skuli Mogensen, CEO and Founder of OZ, will kick off the IM portion of the Presence, PoC and Mobile IM conference in Paris on September 7 th at 10am with a keynote presentation on mobile messaging, which will focus on industry trends, business models and lessons learned. Mr. Mogensen’s keynote speech will review the issues surrounding the mobile instant messaging (IM) phenomenon in North America, review the key success factors in the delivery of mobile IM, such as take rate, pricing model and usage trends, review how Mobile IM contributes to the mobile operators’ business model, and examine the value of Mobile IM to the carrier and to the consumer. Additionally, Mr. Mogensen will answer European operators concerns about IM cannibalization of SMS. Instant messaging (IM) is one of the most popular methods of communicating today. Every day IM users send billions of PC-to-PC instant messages. All of this messaging traffic is however generating little or no revenues for mobile operators, as IM usage is mostly limited to the PC world where no billing models for consumer IM services exist. Mobile operators, on the other hand, charge subscribers for mobile messaging services such as SMS and MMS, as well as for Internet connectivity on their mobile phones. By mobilizing existing IM services, mobile operators are therefore in a position to offer subscribers mobile access to an already established communications phenomenon while also generating, for the first time, real revenues from the usage of IM services.
