Mobile Fox News
The US market is interesting in that a simple thing like making a mobile version of an existing web service gets attention from the press (the press promoting the press; maybe I get it after all). I agree this is useful, but it's really the simplest thing to do, and there's no maintenance to talk about (same content, just a new auto-generated format). Due to that superlatives like the following sound very hollow: "This deal positions FOX News Channel to become a significant player in the wireless industry and is a great opportunity to expand the brand and reach our loyal audience outside their homes".
