Moviso has changed hands again – the historic ringtones brand has been bought by FunMobility from InfoSpace.
The acquisition will provide B2B content specialist FunMobility with one of the largest content libraries in the world. Under the terms of the agreement, FunMobility will licence InfoSpace's delivery platform.
Moviso was created at the dawn of the ringtone era in 1999 by Ralph Simon and Anthony Stonefield, and bought by InfoSpace in 2003. However, Infospace struggled to maintain its success and eventually sought an exit from the ringtone space.
FunMobility provides carriers with apps and content products including Wallpaper Universe, America's Best Mobile Pix, Ringtones Universe, MyScreenz and more. Customers include Verizon Wireless, Alltel, Sprint, U.S. Cellular and AT&T.
