Business is REALLY going bad. CP? They've reduced their content department from 20+ members to 2. Yes. Only 2 remains. This isn't a good move at all when few years back, Google was buying Chikka.

But for me i don't think smart will kill chikka's operation. Chikka is the leading content provider for Smart. Note that telecoms here's does not develop content from themselves but they look for CP which can make and develop products and services for them. Most of the free txt alerts, horoscopes, ring tones and other services are dveloped by CPs. And i think buying chikka is a good move for Smart. Maybe chikka has the best and fastest innovating CP.

This is not exactly like Google buying AdMob, which to me is such painfully obvious move by Google for even more global domination. Chikka was hot with potential a few years ago (which is like a several decades in the IT world), now it seems to have lagged in it's evolvement and lost a lot of it's relevance. Messaging now is even more integrated than it was before. I totally agree with Abe, it's all about being mobile and connected. A little skeptical with this move, but Smart is Smart. They won't invest unless there is a ton of money involved. the only people really happy about this development are dennis and his group, congrats on your new found riches.
