Content-Heavy Mobile Servcie Amp’d Mobile Approaching 50K Subscribers

So Amp’d Mobile CEO Peter Adderton told me in a phone interview earlier today…the startup mobile phone service (MVNO) has received very close and aggressive scrutiny from media (including us). The company has investment from MTV and Universal Music Group, and has raised a total of about $250 million in funding.
Some numbers as everyone heads into CTIA next week: it is “fast-approaching” about 50 thousand subscribers. It added 15K subscribers last month, and is on track to add 25K this month. Adderton also mentioned that the company’s announcing another big-box retail deal at CTIA next week, though he didn’t name them. Our sources also indicate that Best Buy has taken a stake in Amp’d Mobile with this distro deal, though Adderton refused to comment on that.
