Addison, TX (PRWEB) March 23, 2004. Wireless & Mobile Solutions (WMS) debuts SOPRANOs wireless content blocking technology known as SOPRANO MobileNanny, which was just announced at 3GSM World Congress, under the name of WMBlocker in the US, Canada and Mexico. WMBlocker supervises networks in the fight against unwanted mobile content.

Mr. Atobajeun, the Chief Information Officer of WMS, said, We have been very impressed with SOPRANOs mobile technology and the flexible range of wireless data and mobile commerce solutions that the company provides, that's why we decided to represent them here in North America well over a year ago. Our customers greatly benefit from SOPRANOs experience with major wireless technology deployments in the Australian, Asian and European markets. "

SOPRANO MobileNanny/WMBlocker enables Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to provide fine-grained opt-in access control services to their customers, supporting a range of applications including restricting access to certain content categories (e.g. adult, violence, gambling), blocking SPAM, and blocking access to un-moderated mobile chat services. SOPRANO MobileNanny/WMBlocker access-control capabilities cover all major content types, in both "push" and "pull" directions - SMS, Premium SMS, MMS, WAP, Java / Brew downloads, video and HTTP. This service is also compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks.

"A key feature of the platform is self-management," said Tim Batten, SOPRANOs VP Global Products. "The platform enables content to be classified and rated by the content providers themselves, the MNO or third parties. Customers can then manage their access profile with a simple Internet Interface".

According to Dr. Richard Favero, CEO at SOPRANO, The service can generate extra revenue, but more importantly, Mobile Network Operators can demonstrate their social responsibility to their customers (consumer and corporate), their shareholders, their community and their regulators."
