***SOCO Strikes Development Deal with Islandssimi GSM for GPRS
Mobile Service Applications
(January 10)

SOCO, a privately held application service provider for next-gen
computing environments, has announced that it has entered into a
product development agreement with Islandssimi GSM, the mobile
division of one of Iceland's telcos. Under the agreement, SOCO
will develop launch applications for Islandssimi's GPRS mobile
service, scheduled to go live this month. SOCO's initial
offerings will include Web-to-Phone Short Messaging Service
(SMS), custom ring tones, and custom graphics applications.

SOCO will retain ownership of all products outside of Iceland,
allowing the company to integrate them into a larger product
catalog that will be marketed worldwide to other mobile carriers.
