End2End and BitArts partner to deliver Java download solutions with digital rights management
End2End, Europe’s leading managed service provider for mobile data services, and BitArts, the UK-based developer of solutions for digital rights management, today announced a partnership to deliver the industry’s first digital rights management solution for mobile Java downloads.
As part of the co-operation, BitArts’ secure license management platform, ServeKey, will be integrated with End2End’s carrier-grade service delivery infrastructure and offered as a feature for End2End’s managed service solutions for Java downloads.
The solution will provide protection and digital distribution control for Java content downloads to mobile handsets by tracking the sale and subsequent license fulfilment of the downloaded content, thus enabling mobile operators and service providers to actively combat the increasing risk of mobile Java software piracy.
In order to achieve maximum compatibility with multiple networks and content portals, BitArts and End2End are actively working towards OMA compliance and the proposed OMA DRM version 2.0
“With the rapid growth in the mobile content download market, content piracy has become an important issue for mobile operators and services providers”, said Patrik Nilsson, VP, Partnerships, End2End. “We are committed to providing our customers with best-of-breed digital rights management solutions to address this challenge”.
“This is a significant step forward for the mobile industry,” commented John Safa, CTO, BitArts. “Mobile Phone software piracy is a disaster waiting to happen and could easily reflect the problems now faced by the music industry through downloaded MP3’s. There are significant revenue opportunities for the industry in mobile software and by implementing strong anti-piracy controls from the very start everyone in the delivery chain will ultimately benefit”.
