Tom.com has launched its Tomnet internet access card service as
part of its telecom services strategy.
The ISP service is offered by the portal in conjunction with China
Unicom, China Netcom, 263.net and Gosun Online.
"Telecom value-added services have become an important business stream
for Tom.com, alongside our cross-media business strategy," said Sing
Wang, chief executive officer and executive director at Tom.com.
"The number of mainland internet users is growing rapidly, and that is
creating a booming internet access market," he added.
The portal also recently launched 163.net's fee-based email service.
The company said it expects to achieve higher cost efficiency for the
portal following the launch.
