Interview On Jamba-News Corp: Lucy Hood, Fox Mobile; Stratton Sclavos, VeriSign

The announcement of a News Corp.-VeriSign Jamba joint venture left a lot of questions unanswered. We can fill in some of the blanks now thanks to a joint interview with Stratton Sclavos, CEO of VeriSign and Lucy Hood, president of Fox Mobile Entertainment. Hood will become CEO of Jamba when the deal closes; Sclavos was in her office on Maple Drive this afternoon.
Sclavos: “We had several other offers to do that [buy out the full company]; we were not interested. We really wanted to develop the integrated approach to the market and have what we believe was the strongest partner in the space given the assets that News Corp. is launching right now.”
Some interesting details about how Jamba will be positioned, what happens to Mobizzo, working with MySpace on its mobile commerce strategy, and other topics. Read the full interview here.
