Interview, Part I: Jason Ford, Sprint General Manager (Games)

Sprint was one of the first US operators to offer games when it launched a series of text-based games in 2000. Since then, the Overland Park-based carrier has been one of the most successful purveyors of games. Its Game Lobby community—launched late last year—has more than half a million users who have posted 6 million scores, 40,000 reviews spanning more than 65 different titles. Sprint General Manager Jason Ford has been there since day one—when he acted as Sprint’s one-person gaming department. MobilePlaya chatted with Ford recently about what games are popular, how they get the greenlight, and the gradual evolution of the mobile market.
