The ads will appear in various Massive online PC and console games in the UK - for around a month - towards the end of October.

Managing a storage system has become a costly and complicated task. The direct labour cost associated with its management is increasing.

The ability to leverage location intelligence was critical to the successful rollout of our 3G network as it enabled us to identify potential customers and where they would likely use our enhanced third generation services.
