The Associated Press and U.S. Cellular is offering two mobile websites for U.S. Cellular customers
across the country. The content distribution deal offers a gateway to
both AP's popular Mobile News Network, which provides top
international, national and local news, and AP Elections '08 coverage.
The AP Elections '08 site is only available to U.S. Cellular
customers. It is prominently featured at the top of the U.S. Cellular
browsers' "News and Weather" home page, ensuring that the latest
breaking political developments are easily accessible to U.S. Cellular
customers anytime, anywhere.
The Mobile News Network, www.apnews.com,
is the first product released by AP's Digital Cooperative, an
initiative aimed at finding new digital outlets for news and
information produced by AP members. The network covers the entire 100
top designated market areas and boasts a growing number of content
contributors -- more than 1,000 news organizations signed up to provide
local news stories. For the month of September, the Mobile News Network
received more than 26 million page views and more than 1.5 million
local stories were read.
