Rating: well I thought Radio DJ was a flop – but its led to a partnership so maybe it’s not that bad?

Vodafone gets loved up with and enters into a multi-year global partnership. Also RealNetworks just acquired Sony NetServices (today). It was Sony NetServices that has the Vodafone Radio DJ deal with Vodafone.

From the press release
