Day 2 Keynote Address

Chairman and CEO, Sprint Corp.


Just one paragraph on Mobile gaming



You know, so far we' ve seen how useful innovation can educate and enlighten, but it can also
entertain. At Sprint, we' vet given customers access to wireless games and a community of
wireless gamers, if you will. That means more than 200 game choices from 18 game publishers.
Starting this month, we take wireless games to the next level by creating the Game Lobby, a
space where the mobile community of gamers can meet and compete. Eventually, Sprint gamers
will be able to earn frequent -gamer points and prizes for best scores. Starting in the second
quarter, we will introduce games in 3D with the launch of the next evolution of Java for wireless.

There is a very good chance that these will be our games.

From the EGM Bookmaker made the following observation....

"SPS got a fabulous reception from Sprint and have told Qualcomm they are their preferred vendor."

Roll on Q2.

Moving up again today.

Does anyone know what the link with Intel is? Obviously the dream solution, for Superscape shareholders that is, would be to have the Swerve client installed on the Pentium chip, now that would be a dream! Anyone care to clarify?

up at 6.85% bid/offer at 38-40. Roll on 50!!

ehall Intel have achip speciffically designed for mobile applications and this looks like it will be swerve based.

Superscape have been working on a joint venture with Intel when Swerve 3D technology was more PC & Internet browser based and the following announcements were given out:-

SUPERSCAPE/INTEL JOINT INVESTMENT

ANNOUNCES MAJOR INTERACTIVE GAMING INITIATIVE

WITH CNET NETWORKS INC



Hook, Hampshire: Tuesday 29 May 2001 mediadome, Inc, the company formed with
investments from Superscape plc and Intel Corporation has announced the launch
of its browser-enabling technology for the interactive gaming industry. The
first customer for this new solution, is CNET Networks, Inc, the global source
of information and commerce services for the technology industry. mediadome's
new media rich customer-branded 'super browser' for PC and video game
enthusiasts will be available, immediately, for download from CNET's popular
GameSpot.

I'm not sure if Superscape and Intel are still involved with joint ventures but I seem to remember a Shares Mag or IC article around the same time saying Intel is/was a major shareholder in Superscape.

From memory the Mediadome venture died a death as a result of the tech bubble bursting, and I'm pretty sure Intel is not an SPS shareholder.
But clearly relationships were good at the time and the goodwill is probably still there. Certainly would be a dream come true if the Intel mobile chip was Swerved-Up.

I hope the Intel mobile chip does become reality.Does anybody have any news on what is happening in Tokyo at the 3G Mobile World Forum

yep I do too, that is why, when I got this answer from Superscape I got shivers down my spine....

Hi there

Thanks for your queries regarding Superscape/BREW.

The Street Hoops game will be available on BREW but we are waiting for the appropriate handsets (6100 series) to be deployed. The new target for these handsets has been moved to April 2004.

Hope this is helpful.

Best wishes, Maggie Templeman

Mobile data to fuel operator growth

The market for mobile services such as messaging and games will reach $126 billion by 2008, according to a new report.

The study, Mobile Content and Applications 2003, by London-based consultancy ARC Group, predicts that mobile services will account for 20 per cent of total mobile operator revenues by 2008. According to ARC, this represents a solid growth trend for the mobile services market over the next five years, with revenues more than doubling from their 2003 level.

The study found that while voice revenues are forecast to grow at a slower pace, the total mobile market will continue to expand, as usage of services such as messaging, games and music start to penetrate the mass market.

"We see the mobile services market developing from the early adopters and the youth sector to include the wider consumer mass market, as well as business users," said Richard Jesty, senior consultant at ARC and lead author of the report. "This will mean an increase in total revenues for operators, as these new mobile services will offset the likely shift from voice calls to messaging."

Spurred on by the popularity of ringtone and image downloads, entertainment will be the second largest revenue generator, accounting for just over a fifth of total revenues in 2008, as mobile video applications and mobile games start to reach mass-market penetration, according to ARC.

Although consumer services are leading the way, the study also forecasts strong growth for the business sector of the mobile services market, predicting high usage levels and a growing awareness of the value of adding mobility to front office applications. These factors will help to put office applications aimed at the mobile business user in third place after messaging and entertainment by 2008, ARC says.

Operators will need to create new channels to market, by partnering with systems integrators and consultants in the business sector for example, or developing new self-service retail formats such as multimedia kiosks to reach the mass market consumer, according to ARC. This trend towards a greater reliance on partnering will also mean that new business and revenue models will need to evolve in response to the requirement of a more complex market place.

Mobile revenue models are still at an early stage of development, and a number of alternative models are competing for acceptance. Currently, the most favoured models are either purely per event-based or are combinations of subscription charge and event-based charging structures, ARC found.

As the market develops, there will be more opportunities to offer value-based charging and this in turn will call for more sophisticated billing systems which can offer active rating facilities, and share revenues with third parties, it concludes.

With reference to todays sell recommendation in the Investors chronicle. Just a note of warning, this magazine also said to buy Finsbury Foods last month, their research is very often weak and the article on superscape is a prime example. The facts are that games based on Swerve where the client is embedded on the chip will run significantly faster than any other games, so that removes the competition from 3 of the worlds 5 biggest manufacturers. Other companies may want to enter the market but this is already a barrier to entry. DEvelopment of games is open, superscape never wanted a monopoly on development and it never will have but look at the deals signed already (why use Java?)! Also note the other recommendations on the same day, it is funny how investors chronicle completely contradicts itself recommending and selling companies that have never made a profit within 2 pages!

agreed ehall, superscape will succeed, they have the patents and the support of the industry. Anyone thinking of selling should seriously research the facts - this one will be worth double by year end/Q1 2005.
