Advertising and Gaming

Orange and Nokia have signed a memorandum of understanding in
order to partner on value added services such as location based

tests the best applications, defines suitable tariffs, a user
friendly interface plus integrated billing and customer support. As a
converged operator, Orange's strategy is to become a leader in
advertising solutions for mobile, internet and IPTV. Orange is
committed to becoming a leader in mobile advertising across its
footprint.

Commenting on the partnership, Olaf Swantee, EVP of Orange's
global mobile operations said, "We are delighted to be extending our
successful relationship with Nokia to drive the uptake of services.
We have a strong and enduring partnership with Nokia. With this
agreement we intend to bring the power of mobile internet to our
customers with a user friendly experience and applications that make
a difference to their lives."

"We're excited to work closer with Orange to bring new devices
and mobile services to the market," said Kai Öistämö, EVP of Nokia
Devices "as a next important step in our strong and long strategic
relationship started in the early 90's."
