Brazil Operators fast forward with Personal Instant Messaging
Monday, January 14, 2008 at 8:35AM As reported previously here (see here, here and here), six major Brazilian Operators have come together to launch Personal IM and build an operator led mobile IM community in the Brazilian market by Q2 08.
Participating operators are Vivo, Claro, Oi, Brasil Telecom, Telemig Amazonia, TIM.
These operators are working together with Paloma Vivanco, Market Development Manager for Personal IM of the GSM Association.
With this, Brazil leads the effort for deploying Personal Instant Messaging in Latin America. Other efforts include Telefonica Movistar. We have not heard yet from the largest operator in the region, Telcel (Mexico), but surely after this announcement, they will pay close attention to this service which has already been successfully deployed in Europe and Asia.
