MTech, leading African mobile content providers, and OSMi, sports marketing company, have won the rights to power a ground-breaking mobile Premier League highlights and news service across Africa (excluding South Africa).

Congratulations to all at MTech.

The Barclays Premiership is hugely, hugely popular across the African continent and MTech have been steaming ahead with their text news updates last year. They must be doing something right on the basis of 5 million (yes, FIVE million!) subscribers receiving updates.

The new offering will provide near-live coverage of all the 380 Premiership matches in the 2007/2008 season, individual match and weekend ‘round-up’ highlight packages as well as SMS competitions and other mobile content.
