Zed to be acquired by Mblox

THE COMPANY which claims to be the second largest mobile content company in the world, LaNetro Zed, may be acquired by another mobile industry giant, Mblox. That's according to rumours reaching the INQ's ears.

Based in Staines, England, Zed had a very public spat with ICSTIS - the body which monitors premium rate services in the UK. Zed managed to get itself fined £25,000. Which is pretty good going since it's about half the maximum fine ICSTIS can impose.

Ironically, we previously compared Zed's cavalier attitude towards customer support with that of Mblox - which was embroiled in the Crazy Frog fiasco.

It seems the pair could be made for one another.

We're now waiting to see whether the mooted deal, which would create a mobile industry monster, will be referred to the Monopolies Commission. µ
