    UMA technology, and TeliaSonera, the leading telecommunications
    company in the Nordic and Baltic regions, were each announced as
    winners of the World Convergence Award for Best FMC product or

    behind the 3GPP UMA standard, while TeliaSonera was recognized for its
    innovative Home Free service, based on Kineto's UMA technology. The
    award ceremony took place at the C5 World Forum at the Fiera Milano

    sector's leading companies.

    "With major mobile operators such as TeliaSonera now deploying UMA
    services, it has been a tremendous year for Kineto. It is a real honor
