Microsoft and two of Europe's largest mobile service providers have signed a pact with a wireless software start-up to create what it says will be the world's first way for network operators to sell wireless services directly to businesses. The start-up, Seven, will also announce on Monday that it's received more than $34 million in funding.
What makes Seven different, according to executives and analysts, is that it can provide a wireless voice and data system for companies that can support any wireless device an employee prefers. Because of that, businesses can turn to a carrier for any wireless technologies it needs, rather than building it themselves.
