HATBORO, Pennsylvania, September 15 /PRNewswire/ --

The Sports Network announced its continued burgeoning expansion of mobile product usage today in concert and partnership with Contec Innovations (TSX Venture: BUZ) and Acme Mobile, Southeast Asia's leading distributor of mobile entertainment content, by launching Amob:FC, a BUZmob(tm) powered English Premier League football (soccer) product inclusive of, but not limited to, real-time updates, news, statistics, player profiles, team histories and much more to mobile audiences across the region.

The launch of Amob:FC (wap.amobfc.com) coincided with the start of the Premiership season and is initially offered by Acme Mobile's Amob portal in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. This ad-sponsored and subscription service is the precursor to similar services that will be offered soon in Africa and the Middle East as TSN and Contec have become the preferred providers and technical distribution organizations that are leading the industry on a wide international basis.

Paul Meyers, Acme Mobile's CEO, says, "BUZmob's live, multilingual football content provided by The Sports Network, the acknowledged global leader for real-time sports content, fills a big niche in our markets, particularly for mobile sports fans in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand who are passionate about football and want to follow their teams while 'on the go.'" "The Premiership is the world's most popular sporting league and is incredibly sought after in Southeast Asia. By providing this outstanding content, we're giving our mobile audience the live sports news that they want -- wherever they may be."

"As the established mobile content distributor across Southeast Asia, their delivery capabilities, speaking of Contec and Acme, as well as key relationships with carriers and other mobile content portals, provide critical reach to over 280 million mobile subscribers," said Mickey Charles, President and CEO of The Sports Network. "As with China, we are pleased to be selected to deliver live mobile sports content in concert with Contec and, in this case, Acme. And I would urge all to visit http://tsnsim.buzmob.com -- for a live presentation of the services."
