Autonomous Productions signs deal to enable global premium distribution

Autonomous mobile entertainment content will be available for purchase via premium SMS text messaging through major carriers in several countries around the world including UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, France, Australia, Russia, USA and 25 more.

Autonomous will begin selling java enabled cell phone games, action comics, wallpapers and ring-tones to the global market. Autonomous also plans to launch a promotion and sales website translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese to support the grassroots marketing effort this premium SMS campaign will enable. Additional support in Korean, Chinese and Japanese will soon follow.

We are watching Autonomous become an entertainment publisher with global reach, and that is exciting - said Autonomous founder and Creative Director, Shayne Giuliano. We believe mobile is the ideal market space for a small innovative publisher to become a major player quickly. This deal with txtNation proves it. There are already more java enabled phones than PS2s, XBoxs and GameCubes, combined, and cell game production costs are miniscule when compared to PC and Console.

Profit potential for hits can already be measured in the hundreds of millions in the console space, and a strong argument can be made that similar potential exists in the global mobile market for a killer app that translates into multiple languages. Autonomous believes the first mobile killer app has yet to arrive, and we are focused on being amongst the first to create experiences that work best on the mobile platform.
