Oceanlake Commerce Inc. (OLI - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce that it has executed a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with SkyNet Marketing ("SkyNet"), setting the principal commercial terms for the North American license of its WP Mail and Mobile Gateway services.
OceanLake's Mobile Gateway and WPMail (mobile push mail) products are part of OceanLake's suite of services that allow users with any internet-enabled mobile phone and PDA to (i) view and interact in a meaningful way with all sites on the internet; and (ii) send and receive e-mail from their existing devices and existing e-mail accounts at a fraction of the cost of the Blackberry(r) or similar services.
Under the terms of the LOI, OceanLake will receive a staged license fee of three million dollars and a royalty on the gross revenue generated by the WP Mail and Mobile Gateway. OceanLake will also provide ongoing management and support of the services for a predetermined fee. The parties expect to execute a definitive agreement by the end of September, 2006 and for SkyNet to commercially launch in the in early 2007. The launch of these services in North America will significantly build on the more than 50 million users in the South Asian Region with access to both Mobile Gateway and WP Mail.
"With over 230 million mobile subscribers in North America, this license represents a tremendous opportunity for OceanLake and SkyNet marketing", stated William Car, President and CEO of OceanLake. "WP Mail allows users to send and receive e-mail as easily as sending a text message. There is no new hardware to buy and no expensive long-term contracts. Plus, it allows a user to aggregate several different e-mail accounts on their mobile phone", added Car.
We are pleased to partner with OceanLake to bring affordable, mobile e-mail to anyone with an internet-enabled mobile phone or PDA", said Sylvain Villeneuve, President of SkyNet Marketing. "We believe that giving people easy access to their e-mail accounts from any mobile phone is the next important evolution in mobile telecommunications", added Villeneuve.
