SAN DIEGO-Qualcomm Inc. said Korean mobile operator KTF will become a BREW Global Publisher for applications developed for Qualcomm’s BREW mobile Internet platform. The agreement authorizes KTF, which was the first operator in the world to launch BREW services, to assist developers with exporting and distributing wireless applications to other operators around the world.
Verizon Wireless, Alltel and U.S. Cellular in the United States; KDDI in Japan; China Unicom; VIVO in Brazil; and Telstra in Australia all offer BREW services.
KTF will be able to make available the more than 500 applications in its BREW-based catalog to wireless users who subscribe to BREW-based services across the globe. The agreement will provide KTF and third-party content providers with increased revenue, Qualcomm said.
KTF has more than 4 million subscribers to its BREW services.
