At present, the service has 50 content providers, including Reuters, Nando Media, Salon, AccuWeeather, and MBizCentral’s parent company CMP Media. The company is continuing negotiations with other international media companies.

The service allows content providers to sell their information to carriers, content aggregators, and corporations for their own use. AirMedia Hub serves any one of a variety of wireless business models, including advertising-supported and subscriber-supported content or corporate content delivered internally. Besides bringing buyers and sellers together, the Hub handles all back-end tasks, including the tracking and clearing of payment between parties by credit card, operator billing or transfers between banks.

"We’re effectively the middleman, so our brand isn’t visible to the end user, Mark Bregman, CEO, explained. "It will be up to other parties to take our collections of content and market it to their end users.
