As the rumour is of strong performance from Kuju Wireless, part of Kuju PLC, here is some information on where the wireless side of things is moving.

Mobile games more valuable than porn

And music on the rise too...
By Jo Best
Published: Monday 25 July 2005

The market for mobile content is set to be worth $42.8bn by the end of the decade, with kids' content earning the operators billions more than adults'.
According to analyst house Informa Telecoms and Media, of the $42.8bn which mobile content will bring in, mobile gaming will be worth $11.2bn, with 15 per cent of people downloading and playing a game on their handset by 2010.
The exclusively adult preserves of porn and gambling, however, will generate considerably less.
Adult entertainment will bring in a mere $2.3bn by 2010, the analysts predict. But even this comparatively meagre sum is not guaranteed unless pornographers and mobile operators can negotiate the legislative labyrinth and convince the authorities they can ensure adult content is not accessed by minors.
Gambling will net a comparatively healthy $7.6bn but will also find itself dodging the slings and arrows of the lawmakers if it is to succeed. In addition the gaming industry must make sure it's seen to be adopting the right attitude to preventing gambling addiction.

I would also say the cash position is very tight, so we might see some fund raising by some means soon. I hope its not loan notes (so the directors can get buckets of shares on the cheap with conversion of the loan notes later) ..............
