ROK Talk signs China Mobile for it's mobile conferencing service

ROK Talk is one of the best mobile applications I’ve ever used. I know the founders well. They’ve done a phenomenal job with it. If you haven’t tried it out, sign-up for their beta and see if you can get on it list as it’s a corking service.

The champagne is, I suspect, briefly flowing at ROK Talk towers — they announced this morning that China Mobile, the 300 million+ subscriber behemoth, has signed an agreement to offer ROK Talk to subscribers of it’s wholly owned Pakistani mobile operator, CMPak. China Mobile were amongst the first in line for the service but if ROK Talk was a sweet shop, I reckon you’d see operators queuing out the door and around the block. It’s telling that the ROK Talk chaps aren’t bothering with Mobile World Congress. They’re far too busy deploying. So one glass of champagne each and back to to work!

China Mobile is a huge coup for such a young company however the service itself is bullet proof — I’ve been using it ‘in anger’ without a glitch for a good while now and it’s been phenomenal. I suspect that it won’t be long before China Mobile’s home subscriber base are offered ROK Talk.

ROK Talk, by the way, is a joint venture between Howler Technologies and ROK Entertainment. Looks like a good partnership to me!

Congratulations all!
