LiveWire Mobile to carry Motörhead, Alice Cooper content

By Mass High Tech


LiveWire Mobile, a subsidiary of Framingham-based NMS Communications Corp. launched last December, has signed a new mobile distribution deal with Germany-based independent rock music aggregator SVP GmbH, officials report.

In March, NMS (Nasdaq: NMSS) paid $14.5 million for Bedford mobile music platform provider Groove Mobile Inc., expanding LiveWire’s offerings to include full track downloads.
