Redwood City, Calif., November 13, 2006 — Funambol, the mobile open source company, today announced that the FierceWireless readers have chosen CEO Fabrizio Capobianco’s blog, Mobile Open Source (http://www.funambol.com/blog/capo/), as one of the 20 best blogs in the wireless industry.
Over the course of the last 30 days, FierceWireless readers were asked to vote for their favorite wireless blogs. The daily electronic publication indicated that there were thousands of votes spanning nearly 80 blogs that contributed to the final FierceFavorite list of the Top 20 Wireless Industry Blogs.
“Blogging is a natural extension of the open source community and a source of industry chatter, so being recognized for having one of the best wireless blogs is a real honor,” said Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol.
Capobianco is a frequent blogger. He posts on the most important wireless-related topics of the day, bridging mobile market dynamics and open source software. His fundamental belief is that mobile open source will usher in mass consumer adoption of mobile services, specifically mobile email, that will take carrier revenues to a new level.
