Nokia Services Show Momentum in Emerging Markets

Nokia said its Ovi Mail service now has more than 14 million "email activations" and, in the past six months, 60% of new Ovi Mail accounts have been from Southeast Asia Pacific and Africa..

Nokia also said it has become the "single largest source of digital music revenue in markets including Brazil, Mexico and India, when Nokia digital billings for 2009 are compared against IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) estimates".

The Finland-based company's Ovi Life Tools service is now available in India, Indonesia and China, and has more than 4.7 million users. Nokia has also joined forces with YES BANK and Obopay, to roll out a mobile money service in Pune, India, called Mobile Money Services by YES BANK. Nokia says the next step for an India-wide rollout is the city of Chandigarh. source: Nokia statement
