Aspiro signs cooperation agreement with Turkish distributor Enter Aspiro and Turkish Enter have signed a far-reaching cooperation agreement that will give Aspiro access to Enter's established contact network of mobile operators and portals in the fast-growing Turkish mobile communications market. The new cooperation agreement gives Aspiro a strong market presence for its products and services in a country displaying great potential. Turkey, with a population of 70 million, presently has some 8.5 million mobile subscribers. This figure is expected to double within one year. Moreover, there are an additional 700,000 users with prepaid mobile phone cards. Together they represent a substantial customer base in a fast-growing, profitable market. "Turkey has a very young population eager to try out new mobile communication technologies. And despite relatively costly subscription and phone charges, mobile phone penetration is very high. Enter has expressed great confidence in Aspiro's mobile Internet services and we believe that this new agreement will enable Enter to attract many new customers as well as consolidate its position in the market," says Lena Wittbjer, CEO of Aspiro.
