Here is a recently published "Overview": (May 5th)
We conducted our business in Asia via our wholly owned subsidiaries, Alpha Century Holdings Limited, Huiri Electric (PY) Limited, Arran Services Limited, IC Star MMS, Limited (http://www.ICStarMMS.com) and 3G Dynasty Inc. We have an opportunity to become the leading value-added information service provider for China and the global Chinese community. Our products include Total Solutions System, CRM System, SEO4Mobile and AdMaxB2Search.
About Total Solutions System - SMS/MMS Call Center & CRM System
Our specialized product Total Solutions System offers integrated communications network solutions and Internet content service in universal voice, video, data, web and mobile communication for interactive media applications, technology and content leaders in interactive multimedia communications. TCOM develops markets and sells a universal media software solution for enterprise-wide deployment of integrated voice, video, data, web, and mobile communication for media applications. Designed around TCOM's Internet content and database and integrated into the Information Manager System and SMS/MMS Call Center CRM System core software, the Total Solutions application facilitates the collaboration of key business processes such as, corporate and marketing communications, membership distance interactive program, product development, customer relationship management and content management by allowing dispersed enterprise users to collaborate in real time with multimedia message services.
Our business model is built on the integration of strong entertainment & lifestyle content, network database and the application of technology. Network database was established by signing contracts with strategic partners and collected all of their Internet and mobile phone users to be the online/offline members in China. We also established the network database from the construction company that we previously owned, Panyu No. 6 Construction Company Limited ("Panyu") that provided network construction and general construction to the region. Our content was built through our business alliance in which IC Star MMS Limited (formerly known as Sino Super Ltd.) (http://www.ICSTARMMS.com), one of our subsidiaries and a network services provider based in Hong Kong, links entertainment and lifestyle information to local communities across China. IC Star, which was originally created as the Star SMS /MMS called "My Star Friends" community, was first invented as a SMS/MMS interactive between IC Star and fans of local artists in the world. By integrating the network database and contents into a software that TCOM sources from the market, we can leverage the functions of the software and target it to various industries.
We believe that we are one of the leading Internet and value-added telecommunications services providers specialized on entertainment and lifestyle contents in China. Since the launch of our Total Solutions - Information System and the SMS/MMS CRM in July 2004, we have signed various contracts with clients which showed customer acceptance. It proved that our expectation on the reception of the integrated Internet and value-added telecommunication service is on the right track. For instance, the CRM virtual call center through ASP licensees and business customers which is part of our product namely Total Solutions has added 114 stations to bring a total business customer and virtual call center stations to 217 as at March 31, 2005. We will target the enterprise multimedia communications market in China which we believe there is a significant growth potential.
ABOUT SEO4MOBILE
SEO4Mobile (Search Engine Optimization for mobile phones) (http://www.seo4mobile.com) is the original unique new service solution creation by Alpha Century Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telecom Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TCOM). SEO4Mobile -- Search Engine Optimizer for mobile phones via text messages (SMS) and multimedia message services (MMS), offers wireless mobile phone value-added service providers the
ability to use a short message service (SMS) search implementation for their users. Mobile phone users who enter a relevant keyword or keyword phrase, along with a geographic identifier, can send searches in via an SMS to a service code. The search results will be received by a multimedia message service (MMS) and within 5 minutes Search Engine Optimization processes the search through the Internet. Many searchers don't realize that within an SMS search query they can add in a geographic identifier. By specifically laying out a separate search SMS for the geographic portion, SEO4Mobile helps structure the search in a simple and efficient way for the searcher. Now, SEO4Mobile has selected by such service providers (SP) of China Mobile and China Unicom.
Both SEO4Mobile and AdMaxB2Search has proved our strength in innovative and creative value-added service that three contracts have been signed with business partners since October 2004. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, SEO4Mobile has added 621 digital publishers (web and wireless communications) to bring a total of 739 SEO4Mobile advertising in service.
We will derive our revenues from the offering of our products Total Solutions System - Information Manager System, SMS/MMS CRM System, SEO4Mobile and AdMaxB2Search. Revenues are derived principally from providing integrated solutions and AdMaxB2Search platform by entering into business contract with enterprises for a fixed monthly fee. The management of TCOM is especially confident that SEO4Mobile and AdMaxB2Search platform will provide excellent revenue when these two products gain popularity within the mobile phone users. In fact, SEO4Mobile is a cutting edge technology designed to integrate the Internet with mobile phones using search engine technology and a pay per click business model. We will target the 300 million mobile phone users as well as the 111 million Internet users in China. According to the Ministry of Information, China's Internet users are about 8.5% of its population, which is way behind the 60% Internet users in the U.S.
3G DYNASTY INC.
On February 2005, we established 3G Dynasty Inc. for the preparation of the Third Generation mobile system. 3G Dynasty will be responsible for sales of IC Star MMS products, and will focus on entertainment content for 3G mobile and Internet use. This new company will also benefit from an affiliation with Macau Duplicate Plays Limited (a travel entertainment company), and Animation Studio (a developing stage CGI motion producer in China). 3G Dynasty emulates IC Star MMS's very successful business model of a comprehensive services platform and co-sourcing approach that seeks to redefine the intermediary role.
TCOM has continually worked to establish a system that can quickly and accurately respond to the market, as well as raise shareholder value by strengthening the development and competitiveness of each business. As part of this strategy, TCOM has been implementing the integration of development, production and sales of each business within the Company.
TCOM has determined that a huge positive impact will be realized from integrating the functions of the various contracted operations lines of business and that as a result, 3G Dynasty Inc. will become more competitive and synergies will be realized between its marketing, product development and sales organizations. It is also projected that as more resources of the Company are
built up, the strategic alliance structured, the overall efficiency of Group management will improve, providing even greater shareholder value.
In a country with enormous mobile phone usage already, the growth opportunities remain tremendous. China has more than 1 billion people and mobile services will remain a strong area of growth. Entertainment content for these mobile devices is in high demand and 3G Dynasty hopes to become the dominant player within this space. |
