mopay makes a deal with Chukong Technologies.

International mobile entertainment platform company, Chukong Technologies, recently signed a global carrier billing contract with international mobile payments platform, mopay, which will enable the Beijing-based company to offer its consumers the option of paying for digital goods and services through the consumer’s telecommunication’s company invoice.

Chukong gives app developers the ability to develop, publish and monetize their content.

Developers of mobile entertainment around the world can benefit from the innovative Chukong mobile entertainment platform. The company offers developers a complete set of solutions and services that give them the ability to develop popular content, publish it, and monetize it with ease, so they can give mobile users an extremely engaging mobile gaming experience.

Now, among the different services and solutions it offers, according to the Business Wire press release, Chukong “has decided to integrate mopay’s Android software development kit (SDK) solution as an essential element in the overall billing module for game developers worldwide. The mopay interface will serve as Chukong’s Android default solution for a consumer that wants to pay for digital goods and services via carrier billing.”

The Chinese company has chosen mopay’s Android carrier billing solution to serve customers who want to pay thorough their mobile phone bills. Integrated into Chukong’s general billing module, mopay supports the regional billing methods that are the most popular for every one of its publishing territories.

mopay CEO Ingo Lippert said that the company is proud to be the carrier billing partner that was chosen by one of the most successful and innovative mobile app firms in Asia.

mopay is a worldwide leader in ground-breaking online and mobile payments solutions.

The company’s platform allows sellers of physical, virtual and digital goods to directly bill charges to a customer’s mobile phone and/or landline account. Operating in over 80 countries throughout the world, the company serves more than 4.3 billion consumers.

Chukong Technologies is striving to become a top digital distribution company and is presently working on growing its partnerships and infrastructure to improve its business opportunities. For leading Chinese mobile content developers, the company has become a trusted publishing partner. Last year, in China, it was responsible for publishing three of the top four mobile games. The new mobile payments partnership is only likely to benefit the company’s goals further.

Baidu aims to take advantage of foreign talent in order to excel in the mobile gaming market

Mobile gaming is becoming more popular in China and companies that have helped the growth of these games, such as Baidu, are beginning to seek expansion beyond the country’s borders. Baidu is China’s largest search engine company and has played a pivotal role in the expansion of the mobile games sector. The company operates a mobile gaming platform that accounts for some 100 million application downloads each day. Baidu recently visited Canada in order to spark relationships with talented game developers.

Company meets with developers from Vancouver and Toronto

Representatives of Baidu Mobile Games met with more than 20 game developers in Vancouver and developers from Toronto. Both Vancouver and Toronto are considered “hot spots” when it comes to animation talent and mobile game development and, as such, Baidu has been making an effort to connect with this talent in the hopes of making new mobile games more available in China. Competition in China’s mobile gaming space is beginning to grow at a rapid pace and more companies are looking for foreign talent to give them the edge in the booming market.

China is an attractive market for ambitious game developers

China is a very attractive market for the game industry as a whole. An estimated 300 million people play mobile games every day. These people are willing to pay for the games they play, if these games are able to hold their attention and are not too big in terms of data. Many foreign development studios have been trying to break into the Chinese market, but doing so has been quite difficult. Having the backing of a company like Baidu can make this process much simpler and give developers access to a huge demographic that is hungry for mobile gaming.

Baidu has yet to announce partnerships with Canadian developers

Things move quite quickly in the mobile gaming world, so the developers that Baidu has met with may already be creating games for the Chinese company. These games may be released in a matter of months, but Baidu has not yet made any official announcement concerning any partnership it has made with Canadian game developers.
