January 10, 2007

    LONDON, Jan. 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The GSM
Association is proud to announce the Global Mobile Awards
nominations for 2007.

    Now in its 12th year, the Global Mobile Awards
programme continues to grow with the industry that it
represents. Each year the number of submissions increases,
and this year was no exception, with a remarkable 20 per
cent more entries than 2006.

    The volume of entries for these coveted Awards made the
role of the 2007 judges (

challenging. Each entry has been evaluated by the
independent judging panel of globally based wireless
analysts, journalists, academics and subject experts -- all
industry professionals with in-depth knowledge of the mobile
industry and its applications and influences on today's
world.

twelve years, the standard and support for these Awards
continues to rise, once again exceeding our expectations
and reflecting the ability of the mobile and entertainment
industries to not only impress but to genuinely surprise.
The nominated entrants have survived the scrutiny of some
of the industry's most discerning experts and truly earned
their place in this year's exceptionally strong field of
compelling products, initiatives and solutions."

    The Award winners will be announced at the world's
largest mobile industry event, the 3GSM World Congress in
Barcelona, and celebrated at the Congress highlight:  the
