Stockholm 3 March 2000

room33 and Norways biggest telecom operator, Telenor Mobil, have signed an agreement for the Norwegian launch of room33.com mobile Internet services. room33.com will be featured on Telenor Mobils WAP site, providing all Telenor Mobil WAP users with easy and fast access to room33.com services.

This is an important agreement for us says Zaheed Haque, CEO, room33. Being featured on Telenor Mobils WAP site allows us to reach the majority of Norwegian mobile Internet users.

During spring, we will add new features to our present offering, as well as totally new mobile Internet services that will benefit Telenor Mobils customers.

room33.com, already launched in six languages, will offer Telenor Mobil subscribers cutting edge services in their native tounge. Mobile Internet is all about context and ease of use, concludes Mr Haque. Services must be personalised, timely and local.

  • room33 Directory - a guide to a number of mobile Internet services accessible from a WAP-phone.
