SAN JOSE, CA and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - November 6, 2007) - ThinkFree, a leading
provider of Internet-enabled productivity software, has announced that it
is working with BigPond, Australia's largest Internet service provider, to
power a set of Web-based productivity tools. The tools will be offered to
the public as BigPond Office, now available at www.bigpondoffice.com.au.
BigPond Office allows users to create, edit, collaborate on, store, publish
and share word processing, spreadsheet and presentation documents. It is
compatible with document formats used by popular productivity suites such
as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. It will be available for use
wherever BigPond access customers have Internet access worldwide, and it is
offered free of charge to BigPond Broadband Members.
BigPond has exclusive rights to ThinkFree's office productivity suite in
Australia and New Zealand as part of a multi-year technology licensing
agreement.
"ThinkFree is proud to be supplying technology to BigPond," said TJ Kang,
founder and CEO of ThinkFree. "While other telecommunications companies are
struggling to overcome the increasingly commoditized world of data access
and data storage, Telstra (BigPond's parent company) is building new
revenue streams while providing users with the services they need."
