Agence France-Presse (AFP) and Vringo sign agreement

The news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) has signed agreement with Vringo. The goal of the collaboration is offering news video-clips as mobile ringtones. The service will allow ringtones on the incoming calls plus adjusting the user’s personal video-ringtone which will be observed by those whom he/she calls (of course, the user who receives a call is one of Vringo clients and is included in the list of the caller friends).

There springs up an issue about the demand on the new clips-ringtones, but if the videos are the archives of different popular news, it may turn out to be quite a popular service.

The most important detail of the agreement is that there are no obvious risk for either of the sides. AFP won’t make a fortune out of the service, but at the same time the investments into the project are more than modest. Vringo will benefit as well as it will provide a wider assortment of the available video-services.
