Yahoo Japan Launches Mobile Content portal

Yahoo Japan has launched a mobile content portal, in which mobile phone users can “buy games, ring tones, news and other entertainment and information from 59 content providers”. Yahoo Japan plans to get revenues from the new service from fees for settling transactions and collecting payments for content providers. Content providers include digital content creator Cybird and game maker Taito.
On Tuesday NTT DoCoMo said it would form a capital tie-up with Internet shopping mall operator Rakuten to provide web auction services to both mobile phones and PCs. BusinessWeek has a good post about it.
