Last week started with Hungama announcing the launch of its digital media download service at hungama.com. We asked the question whether this move would help curb piracy and drive people towards legal downloads. The week was filled with news of acquisitions and tie ups in the mobile space. So ValueFirst acquired Cellnext and Sabse acquired Mobivox . There was the fallout of the Bharti-MTN deal but MTN went ahead and tied up with IMIMobile For Content. There was funding news too with MChek raising funding from Nexus and Nokia Growth Partners funding Web 18 .
On social networking front we questioned whether facebook was looking To Eat Up Orkut’s Market Share In India? We also analysed the Facebook v/s Google – the New Translation Wars?. This and more in last weeks wrap up.
