Artificial Life announced today that China Telecom has chosen it to create 3G gaming portal. The Chinese Telco recently obtained a 3G license, after the Chinese Government awarded three long-awaited licenses.
The 3G portal Artificial Life will be creating will concentrate on premium gaming services. It will be responsible for development, implementation and maintenance, as well as creating games and entertainment apps for the Chinese mobile audience.
From the release:
“It is an honor for us to be chosen as one of the key content providers for the newly-launched 3G networks in China by China Telecom. With our extensive and unique global experience with 3G networks and 3G mobile content, we are able to offer highest quality 3G content and services to this market with the biggest growth potential of all 3G markets in the world. We are now looking forward to a successful expansion of our business into China,” said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
What we think?
Artificial Life produces a range of games for both the iPhone and Android – but it looks like it will be mostly concentrating on 3G-level WAP games for this portal. There are Java handsets coming on the market that can handle smartphone-style features, so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of content becomes available for China Telecom customers.
