Internetq has pursued a definitive strategy to ensure Akazoo’s success:

• Accessibility: every user has a unified profile and can access the service directly through web, wap and mobile.
• Multifunctionality: Akazoo combines a variety of benefits and functions for users and social networks.
• Localization and cultural adaptation: Internetq plans to rollout Akazoo in several countries, with localized operations and content.
• Continuous development: Akazoo’s expansion and development is achieved by self-financing through premium mobile services.

Akazoo is designed for end users but can also benefit enterprises and operators as a revenue sharing venture. Internetq assumes all costs and creates multiple revenue streams through:

• Increased data traffic.
• Multiple billing interfaces.
• Branded on deck/on mobile versions.
• Increased device interoperability.
• Broad range of promotional and sponsoring opportunities.
• Free publicity and brand awareness.
• Integration with any digital content.
• Web and mobile branded environment

Akazoo can act as a container not only for socializing and mobile networking but also for standard mobile content offerings, presented in the context of a mobile community.

For mobile operators, mobile social networking could greatly increase mobile data usage and open the door to new revenue streams from subscription fees or advertising.
