As a returning member to CTIA's board, Meyers will continue to play an integral role in advancing the association's broad industry agenda. In particular, the board will leverage his experience and expertise in inter-carrier mobile messaging and mobile social networks to lead industry discussions and initiatives.
"Charles has made significant contributions to the wireless and mobile media industry," said CTIA President and CEO Steve Largent. "His critical knowledge of the mobile value chain and experience in best practices, coupled with his unique perspective and vision for the mobile media industry, will continue to be an asset to our team."
Meyers' appointment to the CTIA board and his simultaneous board membership in the Mobile Marketing Association, are testament to the breadth of expertise and leadership that the VeriSign Messaging and Mobile Media division brings to the mobile ecosystem. VeriSign powers inter-carrier mobile messaging for seven of the top 10 wireless carriers in North America, and in doing so enables more than 600 million messages on a typical day.
This past quarter, VeriSign set a single-day record by enabling 648 million text messages over a 24-hour period and a one-hour record of 42 million messages. From January through June 2008, VeriSign enabled 95.4 billion mobile messages across its network globally, another record. The division's combined mobile messaging networks reach more than 2.4 billion global wireless customers through its network of more than 600 of the world's leading wireless service providers.
"As mobile messaging usage continues to skyrocket and mobile content and applications become more critical to consumers, we see tremendous opportunities for the industry to capitalize on these trends," said Meyers. "It is an honor to continue to serve on the CTIA board and help drive key initiatives that advance the mobile industry globally."
Meyers has been with VeriSign since 2006. He previously held executive positions with Level 3 Communications, Kinetic Ventures, Internet Security Systems and BellSouth.
