Celcom Wants to Commercialise Winning Software

The Star reports Celcom is looking to help winners for its League of Extraordinary Developers Challenge contest to commercialise their applications.

Launched in September, LEDC is a contest that gives aspiring software application developers an opportunity to develop innovative mobile solutions that merge with traditional telecommunications offerings such as short messaging service (SMS), multimedia messaging service (MMS) and location-based services with Web2.0 applications.

Chief executive officer Datuk Seri Mohammed Shazalli Ramly says LEDC acts as catalyst to incubate and nurture Malaysian mobile application developers, while providing them with a business opportunity to commercialise their software under a practical business model in collaboration with Celcom, Microsoft (M) Sdn Bhd and Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd.
