mSpot has announced that it has surpassed the six million mark in total paid users – a 150% increase since July 2008! The announcement marks the latest milestone for the fast-growing company, which offers consumers access to music, custom ringtones, live radio, videos and movies on their mobile devices. Founded in 2004, mSpot continues to grow considerably despite the recession, thanks mostly to its sound business model, which currently does not rely on advertising. In fact, mSpot is on track for yet another new high in revenue and profitability for 2009.
“We are very proud of the achievements we’ve made executing a profitable business strategy with steady growth,” said mSpot CEO Daren Tsui. “Our product roadmap is filled with innovations for the next 12 months and we expect our growth to continue even as the economy remains weak.”
mSpot has built its reputation as an innovative company, offering its mobile customers products like mSpot Radio, mSpot Movies, Music Sync and Make-UR-Tones. Recent landmarks for the mobile company include:
• Mobile radio deals with AT&T, Verizon (Alltel network) and Bell Mobility, adding to preexisting radio partnerships with Sprint Nextel, Telus and US Cellular
• Mobile Make-UR-Tones deals with Verizon and US Cellular, adding to preexisting Make-UR-Tones partnerships with AT&T and Sprint Nextel
• Over 1 million mobile app downloads for mSpot® Make-UR-Tones™; 70% month-over-month growth in sales over the past year
• Launch of mSpot.com, the direct-to-consumer web application featuring custom ringtone editor with lyrics and bios
• 3.5 million users on the Movies on Demand service
Overall then, very impressive – we continue to watch the mSpot story!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
