Telfort Signs Mobile Content Deal with Nakko

MocoNews is reporting that Nakko, a mobile content company, has signed a deal with Dutch wireless carrier Telfort to build and manage a new mobile portal for them.

As with other wireless carrier decks, the upcoming WAP portal will give subscribers one place to get news, weather, and traffic information, as well as “other content specifically tailored for the [carrier]‘s users,” such as news from Hollan’s social net Hyves, or e-mail headers from their Gmail accounts, according to the report.

Any deal like this is significant for a mobile content company; achieving any kind of placement on a carrier deck is key to begin with, but as in this case, becoming part of the carrier’s mobile home page is even more desirable.
