Getfugu Announces Next Generation Search Tool and New Business Model for Mobile Phone Users to Access the Web

 

Getfugu Unveils Next Gen Mobile Search Tool

Getfugu Inc. (OTC BB:GFGU.OB – News) unveiled its next generation search tool and new business model that redefines the way mobile phone users will access the web.

With a potential audience of over 3 billion mobile users worldwide, Getfugu has developed the next generation mobile search tool and is expected to launch the BETA version of its application before Labor Day 2009.

“Getfugu will help consumers retrieve web based content. So rather than type a website address or search term into a browser, consumers turn to Getfugu. Our goal is to become the ultimate standard for mobile web-search by simplifying the customer journey and delivering a flawless Direct-Connect service,” said Getfugu Inc CEO Bernie Stolar.

Getfugu has 4 services within its application.

1.  See It (ARL): "Vision recognition" The Getfugu application recognizes
    logos and products through any mobile phone camera. Consumers simply
    point their phone at a logo and retrieve content from the brand owner.

2.  Say It (VRL): "Voice recognition" The consumer can simply speak into
    the phone to retrieve content. In addition to brand names, the consumer
    can say generic keywords such as "best pizza" or "ATM."

3.  Find It (GRL): "Location recognition" For local content, Getfugu is
    designed to work with the GPS systems of today's mobile phones. The
    application will return content, based on the proximity to the user. A
    keyword of "pizza" will return the five closest pizza parlors.  Local
    businesses can pay for voice-activated key words to position themselves
    at the top of the search list.

4.  Get it (Hotspotting): Getfugu provides advertisers with a way to
    monetize their marketing efforts through a mobile ecommerce tool called
    Hot-Spotting, which enables the consumer to purchase or retrieve
    information on any item featured in the video simply by touching it on
    the screen. This function is currently limited to touch-screen phones
    and selected Blackberry models.

The Revenue Model.
Getfugu will use a DNS registration (monthly subscription) business model and charges $9.99/mo (for small businesses), $99/mo for companies with ten or more employees. This fee is based on a single logo (“markers”) or keyword and includes a single ARL/VRL/GRL for an unlimited amount of traffic. Fortune 500 companies that use multiple forms of advertising will purchase multiple markers to track their ads.

Mobile hotspotting will involve a 50/50 revenue split of net profits with the advertiser on a transaction basis.

The market potential for Getfugu is global and includes both national and local advertisers in each area. According to the USPT (United States Patent and Trademark office) their TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System) system holds approximately 4,000,000 trademarks. In addition to this number it is estimated that there are over 360,000,000 logos worldwide. The majority of these are local and non-registered brands. Each of these is a potential Getfugu advertiser.

Getfugu is in negotiations with several mobile manufacturers and OEMs for on deck placement of the Getfugu application on their devices. In addition to this, the company is also in talks with some of the leading domain-registration services on the web in order to supplement them with our mobile strategy as well as Getfugu gaining access to the approximate 50 million new DNS clients every year.

About Getfugu
Getfugu Inc is the first technology architect to provide a carrier agnostic, platform agnostic mobile search platform. Getfugu will change the way people access the web with their mobile phones. It is designed to encourage use of its applications by simply integrating the mobile phones’ core strengths (image recognition, voice recognition, location recognition) into a single customizable application. Additionally, Getfugu offers the only mobile hot-spotting ecommerce platform available worldwide today. The Getfugu platform will be available for 97% of the mobile phones available (over 3.3 billion handsets) worldwide.

The solution is expected to enable mobile and converged broadband operators to generate and optimize new revenue streams for IP mobile data services supported by application-awareness. Application-awareness is used to identify over-the-top video streaming, VoIP, file sharing, P2P, and other services so that subscribers may realize optimum quality of experience.

This innovative joint offering integrates Allot’s Service Gateway (SG) for policy enforcement and the HP Internet Usage Manager (IUM) for real time charging and policy decision functionality, bringing together best-in-breed components for mobile network operators. The HP IUM product serves as an On-Line Charging System (OCS) and as a base platform for Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). The Allot SG serves as the Policy Control Enforcement Function (PCEF).

The policy control and enforcement is dynamic, subscriber- and application-aware, enabling mobile operators to deliver advanced IP services with different charging rates. This makes the solution a fundamental building block for an intelligent IP network that enforces policy with consideration of subscribers’ service plans.

Mobile network operators can use the solution from Allot and HP to build a complete PCC infrastructure that enables rapid introduction of innovative mobile services with increased revenues. The solution uses 3GPP standards-based interfaces and can be applied to 3G and 4G mobile networks based upon IMS and LTE.

“The introduction of mobile broadband services has led to a flood of mobile IP data that must be properly managed. As mobile broadband becomes more mainstream, the need for dynamic, application-aware policy management and real time charging becomes increasingly critical. The solution from Allot and HP is providing real business benefit” stated Azi Ronen, Allot’s Executive Vice President of Corporate Development.
