China Mobile and UMeWorld Bring UMFun to the World’s Largest K-12 Educational Platform
16 Julio 2014 - 6:34AM
Business Wire
UMeWorld Limited (OTCQB: UMEWF) is very pleased to announce that
China Mobile will market UMFun to 9 million paid subscribers on its
Kindergarten – Grade 12 educational platform in the Guangdong
Province beginning on Monday, July 21, 2014. This K-12 educational
platform services 90% of the schools in the Guangdong Province and
is widely used by teachers, parents and schools. China Mobile
generated US$90 million in sales from the K-12 educational platform
in the Guangdong Province in 2012, and approximately US$112 million
from the same province in 2013 and is projected to generate US$132
million in 2014.
Established in 2003, China Mobile’s K-12 educational platform is
the world’s largest subscription-based communication platform used
mainly by teachers, parents and schools throughout many provinces
in China. Currently, there are over 40 million paid subscribers
using this K-12 educational platform on China Mobile’s network,
which generated over US$800 million in sales, with the majority of
sales directly related to various value-added services in 2013.
UMFun is a value-added service that will be co-branded with
China Mobile under a monthly subscription revenue model along with
an initial three month free trial. China Mobile will share UMFun
revenue generated by its K-12 educational platform with UMeWorld
and all expenses related to distribution and marketing will be
borne by China Mobile. Furthermore, a successful launch in the
Guangdong Province will accelerate planned expansion to service
clients in other provinces, according to China Mobile.
Michael Lee, President and CEO commented, “It is a privilege to
be offered the opportunity of becoming one of China Mobile’s few
strategic partners. This agreement accelerates our market
penetration and will provide a substantial revenue stream to the
company in 2015 and beyond. Assuming a 20% conversion rate (as
estimated by China Mobile), the company would be expected to
generate 2 million paid subscribers in Guangdong Province alone,
which translates into US$38.40 million gross sales (before profit
sharing with China Mobile) in 2015. Our goal is to capture 10
million paid China Mobile subscribers throughout their system and
to generate US$192 million gross sales (before profit sharing with
China Mobile) in 2016. We intend on leveraging this China Mobile
agreement with other carriers and to expand into other provinces
not covered by China Mobile.”
The K-12 education system in China is the largest in the world,
comprising 230 million students. UMeWorld is on track to becoming a
leading educational service provider in China. UMeWorld is also
committed to becoming China’s largest provider and repository of
e-portfolios for students.
