Cricket Communications and mPortal Named Key Technology Enablers in U.S. Mobile Data Services by Frost & Sullivan

Companies Recognized as the Industry`s Top Technology Enabler Based on Proven
Ability to Drive Mobile Data Consumption across Different Customer Segments
MCLEAN, Va. & SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
mPortal, Inc., a leading enabler of mobile user experiences, and Cricket
Communications, Inc., a leading provider of unlimited wireless services, have
been named the Key Technology Enabler in U.S. Mobile Data Services by industry
analyst firm, Frost & Sullivan.

The Frost & Sullivan Award for Key Technology Enabler is given to the company
that has played a significant role in encouraging participation in a new and
dynamic market opportunity. The companies are recognized for deploying mPortal`s
SPRINGBOARDSmart Client product, software platform that enables service
providers to develop next-generation user experiences, across multiple mobile
devices offered by Cricket.

"The amount of mobile data traffic going outside the operator networks continues
to increase rapidly," said Vikrant Gandhi, Senior Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
"It is extremely important for mobile operators to capitalize on the premium
content opportunity proactively or risk disintermediation due to the rapidly
evolving relationship between independent content providers and their customers.
Solutions such as mPortal's SPRINGBOARD Smart Client are the ideal tools to help
mobile operators execute their long-term mobile data growth strategies."

mPortal`s Smart Client solution is comprised of a home screen manager, an open
standards-compliant mobile widget platform and an app store that can be
customized to suit the service provider`s needs. Cricket is using the platform
to provide a common, branded experience across their lineup of available phones
to promote content discovery and usage. The platform is open to developers to
create widgets that can be made available to Cricket customers.

Frost & Sullivan published a white paper about the Key Technology Enablers in
U.S. Mobile Data Services Award, including an overview of the current state of
the U.S. mobile data services market, key industry challenges in mobile data
services, and the implications for the mobile operators. To download the free
