StockMarketWire.com - Bango has issued an update on the progress it is making with BlackBerry App World.
Bango said the importance of Blackberry App World to the fortunes of RIM was underlined by RIM co-chief executive Mike Lazaridis during a recent investor update.
Lazaridis presented the key capabilities of the latest version of its app store, App World 3.0, which has recently started to be deployed to Blackberry users.
Alongside the enhanced merchandising and discovery features of the app store, the importance of 'carrier billing' - which is powered by Bango -was outlined.
It was reported that 'carrier billing' is now live in 10 countries.
Bango started enabling 'carrier billing' for Blackberry App World in August 2010, going live initially with AT&T Wireless in the US.
Since then Bango has signed several other operators and recent progress has been rapid; the announcement of 10 countries rolled out already demonstrates Bango's progress over the past year.
Lazaridis also underlined RIM's extensive geographic roll out of Blackberry App World by confirming that it is now available in 131 markets, has over 40,000 'apps', and sees 4 million daily downloads.
