据mocoNews报道，新闻集团旗下的Fox Mobile（由新闻集团2006年收购的Jamba！及2008年收购的VeriSign重组而成）最近情况似乎很不妙，最近又面临新一轮业务重组，声称将裁掉15%的员工，尤其是在德国的工作人员。

该公司的官方解释是，“Fox Mobile集团日前宣布重组在全球范围的手机娱乐业务，以便将资源集中到核心资产和具有更大发展潜力的领域，比如手机视频点播和娱乐平台。为执行这项决定，公司将针对全球业务进行一次裁员。”

现在看来，该公司的未来走向只能寄希望于目前面向美国用户开放的手机视频点播服务Bitbop。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Fox Mobile cuts 15% of staff to focus on on-demand TV

The story of corporate mergers and acquisitions is full of shades of grey, and so it is with New Corp’s relationship with Fox Mobile, an entity created when it bought German outfit Jamba! in 2006 and VeriSign in 2008.

It’s already confirmed its longterm intention to sell the unit, and wrote down over a hundred million dollars of value from the unit in the summer.

In the meantime however, Fox Mobile is going through another round of restructuring, with mocoNews reporting that around 15 percent of staff are being cut, it’s thought mainly in Germany.

Slimmer, meaner

The official line is that: “Fox Mobile Group announced yesterday that it will restructure its worldwide mobile entertainment businesses in order to focus resources on core assets and invest for future growth in high potential areas such as its on-demand mobile video and entertainment platform. As a result of this decision, there was a reduction in the company’s global workforce.”

The future of the company now seems to lie with its mobile-based, on-demand TV service Bitbop, which is currently live in the US.（source:pocketgamer）
