continue to be dedicated to music and play a huge role in the
development and representation of Southern music.
"m-Wise, is excited to partner with Malaco, a leader in Gospel,
Southern, Urban, Blues, and R&B which are all new genres for

Burton Doss, director of IT at Malaco, said, "Malaco has been
looking for a technology partner who can provide not only ringtones
to our customers, but also full track downloads and there is no
partner better than m-Wise Inc. in the US." The pay per-download
ringtone feature will be done by utilizing MOMA, a proprietary
software created by m-Wise Inc., which is integrated as a "one stop
shop" for mobile operators, content providers, wireless ASP's and
media producers like Malaco. The MOMA platform delivers end-users
with a state-of-the-art mobile experience and makes it easy to
manage and deliver content like music, games, videos and other
entertainment while adding real-time end user capabilities like
voting, mobile marketing, advertising and access to live data.
Within this package, MOMA also supports transactional billing,
customer care and marketing capabilities.
Malaco will be offering the popular "Do the Ricky Bobby" by
BHamp as a ringtone and coming soon will be ringtones by many other
well known artists such as the gospel group Bebe and Cece Winans.
In addition, Malaco has just signed on Queen Emily from last
season's 'America's Got Talent' and intends to use songs from her
upcoming album within this feature as well.
