I popped by the Mobile Entertainment Live conference and was surprised and delighted to see both Alykhan and James from mega mobile aggregator, MX Telecom manning the booth. Greg Schmitzer of mobile services company Buongiorno was also at the stand — he heads up sales for the marketing and services group there. Buongiorno and MX have been working together for about 4 years — MX take care of their messaging and various other technology services.

MX Telecom have been going great guns in the States. I remember when their US office was comprised exclusively of Alex (in Starbucks)! Now they’re 16 people in their Brooklyn, NY Office (60 people back in the London HQ).

The big news for them is the fact that MMS has come of age in the States and that WAP Billing is now active in the States — and with MX’s rather substantial UK experience with Payforit, they’ve got quite a lot of companies calling upon them for help. In fact, whilst I’ve been sat here for the last few minutes by their stand, Aly and James have been interrupted at least six times by suppliers hunting for assistance. Good news!
