After recently acquiring WiderThan, a global provider of wireless entertainment solutions, Realnetworks has now acquired Sony NetServices, a provider of mobile operators with end-to-end white label digital music services which is a joint venture between Sony DADC and Sony Europe.
This acquisition substantially strengthens RealNetworks’ market position in Europe, and adds new technological capabilities that enhance Real’s capacity to offer mobile operators access to its growing portfolio of media solutions, including music on demand (MOD), video on demand (VOD), ringback tones (RBT), games and other solutions.
