HIP Helps its clients to communicate with their customers leveraging mobile phone technology. The company operates in the US – where the market for mobile phone-based text is still growing and where HipCricket has several core clients in the shape of broadcasters and companies with strong brands.

The total number of text messages sent in a one month period in the United States recently surpassed the United Kingdom. Yet there are 5 Yankees for every Brit. Very big potential here, but a lot of that good news is already in the market cap.
