Qpass, which itself merged with Austria-based UCP Morgen in January 2005, powers content offerings on behalf of T-Mobile International, Cingular and Skype.

The company has estimated annual sales of $42 million and recently unveiled its Open Market business unit, which will help media companies launch mobile content through direct-to-consumer channels.

“Consumers have begun to expect higher levels of personalization and richer content via multiple electronic channels,” said Chase Franklin, CEO and founder of Qpass. “As the consumption of content and digital goods becomes mainstream, volume and complexity will increase significantly and the demand for additional services will grow. The merger with Amdocs will provide a comprehensive answer to help service providers support these increased demands.”

The closing of the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to occur in the quarter ending June 30, 2006.
