VeriSign's Messaging and Mobile Media Division Shatters Records

Mobile messaging volumes continue to shatter records, according to the latest quarterly index of mobile messaging statistics compiled by the Messaging and Mobile Media Division of VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world.

 

Across Asia Pacific, VeriSign saw an approximate 30 percent increase in the total number of international mobile messages sent and received over its network in Q1 2009 from Q4 2008. The company also saw rapid growth in the volume of mobile messaging traffic in this region, especially in South Asia where the number of mobile messages delivered by VeriSign jumped almost tenfold that quarter.

 

 “Growth in mobile messaging volumes remains a consistent bright spot in the mobile wireless environment,” said Qi Li, Vice President of Asia Pacific Sales, for VeriSign's Messaging and Mobile Media Division. “We are making the investments necessary to deliver the reach, reliability and scalability needed for 2009.”
