    SHANGHAI, China, Feb. 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Linktone Ltd. (Nasdaq: LTON), a leading provider of

    As previously announced last week, Linktone was
contemplating a formal offer of approximately $77.8 million
to acquire all of the outstanding equity of the UK-based
wireless services company if MonsterMob's shareholders
rejected a pending offer from LaNetro Zed to acquire a
52.6% interest for approximately $66.8 million.  On Friday,
a majority of MonsterMob's shareholders accepted the Zed
offer.   

    Chairwoman of Linktone, Elaine LaRoche commented,
"While Linktone believes that the combination of our
business with that of MonsterMob made good strategic sense
and had the potential to provide economic value to
shareholders on both sides, we respect the decision made by
MonsterMob's shareholders on Friday."

    "The Board of Linktone continues to consider all
opportunities to enhance shareholder value.  While our core
business in wireless value-added services in China continues
to grow, we continue to explore opportunities to extend our
footprint in to new markets in China and if an appropriate
opportunity arises, abroad," continued Ms. LaRoche.
