> Microsoft acquires Musiwave


French mobile music service provider Musiwave, a subsidary of Openwave, has been bought by Microsoft for $46m. As part of the agreement Microsoft also assumes Musiwave's net debt of $4m. Musiwave currently provides music entertainment to 30 mobile operators in 25 countries and powers over 20 full-track mobile music services.
Our take...
This acquisition further strengthens Microsoft's position in the mobile entertainment market, following its purchase of mobile search company MotionBridge in February 2006 and mobile advertising firm Screentonic in May 2007. Screen Digest rates Musiwave as one of the leading mobile-specialist full track music providers, competing with Real Networks and Groove Mobile.
