Good news for PageOne…
Link: Janet launches SMS service for network users – 30/Apr/2007 – ComputerWeekly.com
The Janet educational and research network has signed a deal with messaging firm PageOne to supply SMS text services to network users.
Janet said, ‘The familiar text format of SMS offers a capability for rapid communications in a huge range of educational scenarios.
This could be a potentially biggun for them — particularly if they can convince Universities to integrate mobile messaging into their existing communications strategies, e.g. as the article says, so they could send a text to all first year law undergraduates. They can do this with email right now — but it would also make a lot of sense to integrate a similar text service.
PageOne also have a rather sexy website. I like it!
