Mobile 365, the global leader in mobile messaging and data services, today announced that the company has been named a Rising Star on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of
the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. A special category, the Rising Star list ranks 25 winners that have been in business three or four years. They are ranked
based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2002 to 2004).
It is exceptional for a young company to gain early traction in today s highly competitive technology marketplace and especially to report such strong revenue growth, said Tony Kern,
deputy national managing principal of Deloitte s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. It s a credit to Mobile 365 s leadership that they ve managed to ramp up
their business so quickly.
Mobile 365 was also named a Rising Star in Deloitte s Technology Fast 50 Program for Virginia. Additionally in 2005, Mobile 365 has been recognized as one of AlwaysOn s Top 100 Private
Companies and Fortune s 25 Breakout Companies.
This has been an exciting year for Mobile 365. The global mobile messaging market has really come into its own and we are immensely proud to be at the center of its rapid adoption, said
Neville Street, CEO of Mobile 365. We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte on both a regional and national level. It is a great testament to the commitment that our team has made to
delivering quality services and customer satisfaction.

Entrants must be headquartered in North America, and be a technology company, defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the
