MIAMI-Latin American content provider Blah! said it will open a North American office to seek out business with U.S. wireless carriers. Blah! recently signed a deal with Verizon Wireless to offer its content and community messaging services.
Founded in June 2000 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Blah! offers community messaging and personalization features, as well as ring tones, graphics and games.
“Blah! partnered with 11 carriers in seven countries to create a community of 2 million users who send 50 million messages a month, all within our first two years of operations.” said Federico Pisani Massamormile, Blah!’s chief executive officer. “With our success in Latin America and the tremendous increase of SMS traffic in the U.S., Blah! is perfectly positioned to enter the North American market and create the world’s largest wireless community.”
Other wireless community messaging groups include those available from Upoc.
