Riding Japan's i-mode wave, NTT DoCoMo and Turner International
Japan have forged an alliance to provide CNN Mobile news content to
I-mode users in both English and Japanese. Subscribers to the service
will be offered all information free until August 1, after which
headlines will be free of charge, with full stories accessible for
US$2.85 monthly.
According to CNN Interactive editor-in-chief Scott Woelfel, the CNN
Mobile service already has 60 million worldwide users, a figure which
would be greatly enhanced by the DoCoMo alliance.
