What about GigaMedia?

[/ QUOTE ]

Taiwan-based GigaMedia, which owns Cambridge Software, the "consulting" company behind EverestPoker.net, is NOT interested in being the "first mover" in poker in the Chinese-speaking world.

Instead, Gigamedia is pushing its Funtown mahjong portal in the Chinese-speaking world while it tries to dip its toes in Japan by doing a little bit of marketing of EverestPoker.net.

EverestPoker.net's priority expansion away from Europe is the Southern Cone (Argentina and Uruguay), where EverestPoker.net is advertising heavily on ESPN Latin America-South and ESPN Mas (ESPN+, formerly ESPN Sur).
