(Telecompaper) Digicel has signed a contract with Israel's Shine Technologies to deploy the startup's ad-blocking software on mobile networks in its Caribbean and Asia Pacific markets. In a joint statement, the companies said the software will first be used in Jamaica, with plans to roll it out to other national markets across the Caribbean and in the Asia Pacific region in the coming months. Ad-blocking software has been used extensively on desktop computers for a number of years but mobile use has been less widespread and Digicel is the first mobile operator to sign up with Shine, whose shareholders include Horizon Ventures, the investment fund of Li Ka-shing.
