Mobiya announces today its strategic alliance with Telemak to jointly develop a European platform for user generated content aimed at the mobile video user. The platform will be made available to mobile operators, broadcasters, publishers and portal giants.

The combination of Mobiya's mobile interactive applications with Telemak's video capturing, formatting and service capability is the industry's first alliance to tackle the explosion of mobile video within Europe.

Also today, mobile media publisher and distributor Player X announced a second round of funding, generating $10 million. The round was led by new investors Nordic Venture Partners and Long Acre Partners as well as original investor Arts Alliance. The funds will be deployed to accelerate its global mobile TV, video and gaming initiatives, with the news following on the heels of the December 2006 launch of its mobile television channel geekTV, available via UK operator 3.
