Disney, NTT DoCoMo to Offer Content Worldwide

Walt Disney will offer its content through cellular phones worldwide.

Walt Disney Internet Group (Japan) signed an agreement with Japanese mobile communications provider, NTT DoCoMo Inc. to jointly market a mobile service that would provide Disney content, including animated characters.

While similar Disney content is already offered to users of NTT DoCoMo’s Internet-accessible (i-Mode) phones in Japan, the two firms will now develop new content specially suited for foreign markets. The content will be distributed via i-mode-like multimedia services by DoCoMo’s overseas affiliated companies.

Walt Disney Internet Group (Japan) is a subsidiary of Walt Disney Co.
