Take a look at this new television commercial from Claro Chile which is introducing their new 2D barcode service called Codigo Claro.  As you will see, it very clearly shows how a simple 2D code (EZcode) can unlock a ton of great information and content – from anywhere…

It is great to see a major mobile operator educting the public about 2D barcode technology.  A lot more activity is developing in Chile, and codes will soon be used all over Santiago.  More to come…

Scanbuy and NeoMedia announced a cross licensing deal today which we hope will move the mobile barcode space to new heights in the United States.  Both companies have invested a great deal of time and resources in developing our intellectual property, and we are pleased to have finally come to a fair agreement.

Our technology inter-operates with any mobile operator, any handset, any geography and any barcode format – that flexibility is critical to making this a viable and long-term solution.  Scanbuy’s current patent portfolio covers the entire mobile barcode space, and we will continue bring innovative solutions to our partners and customers.

Thanks for your support,

Jonathan Bulkeley, Chief Executive Officer
