The U.K.-based mobile payments provider Bango has opened a point-of-presence at Interxion's London data center.

Through direct operator billing, Bango enables brands such as Mozilla, BlackBerry, Facebook and Microsoft to charge for goods via mobile phones without the need to register personal details.

Interxion, based in the Netherlands, is a provider of cloud and carrier-neutral co-location data center services, with 34 data centers in 11 European countries.

A recent report from Juniper Research forecasts that revenues from mobile content, monetized through direct operator billing, will rise from $2 billion in 2013 to $13 billion by 2017, according to a news release.

Bango said the PoP center will help ensure that its data is secure and that its payments platform is always available to its major customers across the globe. Interxion has a reputation for delivering a high level of service and technical innovation, Bango said, something that is backed up by its customer base of leading banks, enterprises, cloud and digital media customers. And Interxion's metro locations and close proximity to more than 77 percent of European GDP matches Bango's wider strategy to extend its footprint into "every corner of the globe," Bango said.
