What does STRZ mean? - 57879 (5STRZ)

So I read the article in the Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_4719289) about the CRAZE with text messaging. I personally don't think there is a 'craze,' but the article does mention a whole bunch of codes not yet implemented but apparently taken. Well, I won't add them until I hear that they are live. One is, it's 5STRZ. And here's the blurb from the article:
"Denver-based Connectme360 is targeting the hotel industry with its code 5STRZ (57879). Essentially, the company's service will allow hotel customers to receive information about the city they are visiting, such as the nearest sushi restaurant, by sending a message to 5STRZ. The company hopes to launch the service in the coming weeks, said chief executive Brian Hayashi."
Good luck!

News from the ATL - 46397 (4NEWS)

Some one asked me if 4NEWS was available. I went to http://www.usshortcodes.com/ and found it was taken. Of course, they don't tell you by who. So, I texted 'HELP' to 46397 and the Mobile Terminated message told me to email customerservice@thelsn.com for help. That was not help. So, I googled 'customerservice@thelsn.com' and found one and only match of http://ww2.ajcmobile.com/wireless/signup.cfm?sid=1001&pageid=terms. So, now we know. It's the Atlanta Journal Constitution sending text alerts. But although these are standard rate messages, you can't sign up without a password. I didn't resolve this further but my guess is that you need to pay by alternate means. And I thought Cingular didn't allow that? Ok, I am just spreading rumours now.
