Why It's Fierce: M7 Networks provides a bridge between carriers and content providers, allowing carriers to launch mobile content services. The company offers solutions for both BREW and Sun Microsystems' J2ME platforms and works with both Qualcomm and Sun extensively. M7 also works with a number of carriers, including Verizon Wireless and Sprint. The company powers Sprint's mobile game service, Game Lobby, which claims more than 500,000 users. This company also works with two former Fierce 15 winners, mobile game publishers Sorrent and Jamdat, as well as one of this year's winners, In-Fusio. In short, M7 has the carriers, the technology partners, and the funding to be a success in the mobile content market.

What To Look For: Look for M7 Networks to continue its growth, expanding beyond to the US to at least one market abroad.
