including GPRS and UMTS. The VAS platform compresses, distributes and presents data in a way that allows wireless operators quickly and easily to offer a wide range of value-added data services to handheld devices including WAP phones, pagers and PDAs. Aether Systems’ Chairman and CEO, David Oros, is Chairman of Sila; Bo Kroll, former President of IFX, has been appointed President. Jonathan Baile, former managing director of Reuters wireless businesses worldwide, is executive vice president. Peter Job, Reuters chief executive, said: “We welcome the formation of Sila as an extension of the close relationship we have with Aether, our partner in this venture. This event is a clear illustration of the strategic initiatives we announced in February this year to accelerate Reuters use of the Internet and in particular to offer the ability to combine all the essential elements of an e-commerce package in the growing wireless market place.” David Oros said: “The powerful combination of Aether Systems and Reuters brand, content and market penetration together with IFX, the largest provider of mobile financial data in Europe, positions Sila as one of the leading wireless data companies in Europe. The market for wireless services in Europe is more mature than in North America and we will attack it aggressively. Sila aims to become the leading wireless application services provider in Europe with plans to expand to Asia in the near future.” Bo Kroll commented: “Europe is currently in a transitional phase as wireless internet services are being introduced through WAP phones that are expected to gain significant momentum over the next few years. The growing popularity of WAP features along with the GPRS rollout will result in high growth rates for wireless data services. Sila is well positioned to take advantage of these market conditions.” EndContact: |

Note to editorsAs a result of unified standards, ubiquitous coverage and more attractive pricing plans, adoption of wireless devices is much more prevalent in Europe than in North America, with a lead of 18-24 months, according to research analysts. According to a March 2000 Forrester Research report, 144 million GSM phones were in use in Europe at the end of 1999, 30% of which were issued by businesses. Lehman Brothers analysts expect wireless penetration in Western Europe to grow to 72% of the population in 2003, with Sweden, Norway and Finland reaching 80-90%. Most of these users current rely on their wireless devices for voice communications, but the arrival of next generation mobile data technologies is expected to change the dynamics of the marketplace. GPRS is being rolled out across Europe now and will vastly accelerate data transmission speeds from current levels by as much as five to ten-fold. GPRS will offer instant access to data networks and an ‘always on’ connection between the mobile device and the network. Forrester predicts that GPRS will be ‘mainstream’ by summer 2002 and that one in three Europeans will regularly use the mobile Internet by 2004. As GPRS is being rolled out, WAP phones, which allow for internet access and transactions and operate over the existing GSM network, are growing in popularity.

The addition of The Yankee Group will enhance and extend Reuters position in the growing global market for high-quality research material.” Reuters recently established Reuters Enterprise to develop new global information businesses outside its core financial markets.

Further acquisitions of and investments in research information companies in the US, Europe and Asia are expected as Reuters develops its global research and advisory business. The Yankee Group will be managed independently within Reuters Enterprise, part of the Reuterspace division, and will maintain editorial independence, objectivity and impartiality, in line with Reuters editorial principles. Berge Ayvazian, the chief executive of The Yankee Group, will continue to manage the operation and work closely with Reuters Enterprise to expand the business and identify further potential acquisitions.
