Nokia To Integrate Wi-Fi Into New Handset

In a huge boost to the use of open-web of mobile content, Nokia has unveiled its latest Communicator, model 9500, with in-built Wi-Fi connector.

WSJ (sub. req.): Today, mobile-phone operators can largely control the content delivered over their networks. But media companies, using Wi-Fi networks, could sell video clips and music, for example, direct to mobile-phone users without any intervention by an operator.

According to Time, this is a bid to crack open the corporate sales market for Nokia.
