Urban Planet Mobile partners with TVP Ventures

Urban Planet Mobile, The Mobile Education Company, forges partnership with TVP Ventures, as company rolls out mobile education products in the U.S. and internationally

ATLANTA, GA (June 29, 2010)
TVP Ventures today announced that they have partnered with Urban Planet Media & Entertainment, Corp. (Urban Planet Mobile), the premier provider of educational and informational content delivered via the mobile phone worldwide. TVP Ventures will play an active role in corporate development, strategic planning, capital formation and value creation for the entire organization.

“At TVP Ventures we partner with a select group of companies where we believe we have the opportunity to become big winners.” said Donald Gasgarth, Managing Director of TVP Ventures. “We are excited to partner with Urban Planet Mobile to assist in taking an immense worldwide mature market and introducing their top quality, original products that integrate with the mobile phone”.

Worldwide, economic growth and development are closely tied to improved education of the workforce, particularly when the population has cultivated English communication skills. In certain parts of Asia, for example, an individual can expect a 300% increase in his income by acquiring English proficiency. Additionally, the world looks to the U.S. for education and, in fact, the American college tradition and experience is being franchised with several Ivy League schools opening campuses in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore, for example.

Urban Planet Mobile, The Mobile Education Company, capitalizes on the world’s hunger for both English language learning opportunities and American style education while at the same time embracing the ubiquitous mobile as the tool for delivery. By developing deep libraries of educational and informational content built specifically for mobile delivery, Urban Planet Mobile is the only company to create patent pending mobile education products that are deliverable to up to 95% of handsets. Urban Planet Mobile products are not limited to the 20% of smart phones but can reach 95% of the estimated 4.1 billion mobile phones around the world, including products designed for the smart phone population. With about 1.4 billion people worldwide actively learning English, there is a vast market for Urban Planet Mobile English language learning products alone.

In addition to the English language learning lines, Urban Planet Mobile offers test preparation products, including vocabulary building for the SAT, GRE, and TOEFL. The SAT line is available to high school students in the U.S. and, because there is a tremendous call for SAT prep materials internationally, it will be sold overseas as well.

“It’s exciting to be working at the intersection of the burgeoning mobile market and the explosive English language learning market as a pioneer in mobile delivered education,” CEO, Brian A. OliverSmith says about Urban Planet Mobile, The Mobile Education Company. “It’s invigorating to imagine that the products Urban Planet Mobile is building will change not just individual lives, but will change the concept of mobile delivered content, and possibly change the landscape of education for the future”.
