Heading to Mobile World Congress? Still trying to decide which companies to meet? In need of some light relief from your schedule-building?

Well, we've got a new game to play at this year's show: Who's got the most laughable company name?

Tongyu Communications is a perennial classic at MWC -- I have had my picture taken more than once in front of its stand.

As for SlashMobility… well, the potential for stifled giggles will depend on whether you are British.
