VANCOUVER, B.C. – September 8, 2005 – airG , the global leader in powering mobile communities confirms that on June 3, 2005 its mobile community surpassed 5 million users, who have registered through their mobile phones. airG also announces it has reached a new milestone in mobile data generated from its mobile community products, with over 10.9 billion lifetime hits, which is equivalent to 3,450 years of continuous usage by one user.
“The numbers speak for themselves, airG products are generating staggering mobile data traffic revenues and recurring revenue streams for mobile operators globally,” commented Frederick Ghahramani, Director, airG . “By consistently reaching new product and company milestones such as these we confirm our vision of being the world’s largest mobile community provider.”

Users create their own detailed identity in the community through their mobile phones, establish and store their contacts and friends lists, and maintain this identity every time they use airG community products.
