CHICAGO, April 10 (UPI) -- Special agent Ethan Hunt -- a.k.a. Tom Cruise -- suddenly appears on your mobile phone's color screen. You're being recruited to be a non-official cover intelligence asset. As Hollywood prepares to premiere the third installment in the "Mission: Impossible" film franchise, Paramount Pictures, and producers Cruise and Paula Wagner, are working with a mobile-gaming company to bring the action right to your "third screen." Is it any wonder, experts are telling United Press International's Networking column, that, with interactive games like this, consumers are today very satisfied with the level of performance of their mobile networks?

A new survey, released last week by London-based I-play, the mobile entertainment company, demonstrates that 79 percent of mobile gamers were either very satisfied or satisfied with the mobile games they played over wireless carriers' networks. As the market has come under close scrutiny by investors on Wall Street, for its investment potential, the survey shows that mobile game networks are not for the extreme geek fringe anymore, but are really appealing to consumers.

I've never actually played WoW - was addicted to "City of Heroes" and now "Oblivion" is sucking up my mind - but we've all played with a Leeroy.
