mBlox, a

processed over 3.5 billion application-to-person transactions which is 46% up
from the previous year. In 2009 mBlox achieved revenues in excess of $110
million. Total revenue for mBlox in 2009 increased by more than 10% as compared
with the year before.
“In 2009,
mBlox saw its tenth consecutive year of 30-percent-plus volume growth globally
for application-to-person messaging and we have also maintained our global
leadership in processing premium transactions with a total retail value more
than twice that of our next largest competitor,” said Andrew Dark, CEO, mBlox.
“This demonstrates the immense power of SMS to deliver consumer value for
businesses. We have seen growth in many sectors, including financial services,
entertainment, transport and online service sectors. Although the SMS market in
North America began later, the impressive and
accelerating growth hints at the innovation and vast potential in the region.
The dramatic increase in mBlox market share in France and growth in other
territories demonstrates the value of our global presence and focused
strategy.”
