StarHub has chosen NeuStar's market-leading mobile IM suite to launch its
new messaging service "Chat Anywhere," and is the first operator in Asia to

Subscribers will benefit from mobile access to their Windows Live
Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger instant messaging communities from their mobile
phones, and will be able to log on using their existing user names and
passwords, just as with the PC.
Stephen Tsang, vice president, APAC at NeuStar Next Generation Messaging
(NGM), commented: "StarHub has been one of the most innovative operators in
Asia since its launch in 2000, with a number of milestones for innovation and
customer solutions. Text messaging is hugely popular, and we want to help
StarHub build on the success of SMS and benefit from the instant messaging
phenomenon that is driving new revenues and value to our customers around the
world. We at NeuStar are delighted to add them to the growing number of
operators launching innovative mobile IM services."
Anil Nihalani, vice president, mobile services at StarHub, said: "Our
customers want anytime, anywhere access to their online friends, and our new
service empowers them to stay in touch with their instant messaging buddies on
Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! on the move."
"We are looking forward to working with NeuStar to provide a service that
our customers find easy to use and enjoyable."
The new StarHub messaging services will be available later this month, and
