*Reuters Teams with Ericsson and Vodafone for Wireless News By Vanessa Clark 19 July 1999 Financial news service, Reuters, has announced separate partnerships with Vodafone Airtouch and Ericsson to trial delivering news and information to wireless devices. Its partnership with U.K. cellular operator, Vodafone, will tes the delivery of content to mobile handsets using short messaging service (SMS). Users will be able set up their news preferences using a web interface, to specify which type of stories they would like delivered. Jonathan Baile, managing director of Reuters wireless services, said that the trials are currently being held with "several hundred" Reuters staff and are set to be extended to Vodafone Airtouch's staffers in about a week. The trials will then be extended to a wider audience. Baile says that the company is hoping to use the SMS service, to get users used to receiving information via a mobile handset in preparation for more advanced delivery methods. And as if too prove it, Reuters is also trialing content delivery using the wireless application protocol (WAP) in conjunction with Ericsson. The trials are taking place in several European financial centers using either Ericsson's GSM-connected palmtop computer, the MC218, or its R380 WAP phone, both of which feature a microbrowser. The trials are currently being held on a test network. Reuters' Baile the company is said the company is still exploring various routes to market and tariffing structures and it is too soon to say whether the company will team up with mobile service providers for delivery. © EMAP Media 1999
