Indian company Cellnext Solutions has plans to offer a mobile newspaper service for RS50 (about US$1.15) per month. “Although the publishers will decide on the content that is to be offered through the service, it is expected to have around 20-25 stories and about five pictures. It will be the first of its kind in the mobile industry and the company plans to take it to foreign countries after its launch in India…”Two English dailies have shown keen interest. We are also in initial talks with some foreign operators”. The service appears to be MMS based (look at this gif). There’s some talk about how newspaper and magazine publishers can operate in the mobile market, and this service plans to offer the news for cheaper than the cost of buying the paper.
