Sarmad -- This is the real story of the day: Tuesday June 22, 8:37 pm Eastern Time Infospace to offer Internet data on wireless devices SEATTLE, June 22 (Reuters) - InfoSpace Inc. will launch a new service Wednesday that will send personalized information from the Internet to digital telephones and pagers, the latest in a growing wave of wireless Web offerings. InfoSpace chief executive officer Naveen Jain said the service would differ from a similar feature recently launched by Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Web portal by allowing users to ''pull'' customized information such as sports scores or stock quotes off the Internet using the telephone keypad. Additional services such as instant messaging will be launched shortly, Jain said in an interview. InfoSpace, which specializes in offering basic Internet services on a ''private label'' basis for rebranding, said it will form partnerships with cellular telephone carriers and related companies to offer the interactive services to users. InfoSpace will get a percentage of any additional revenues generated by the carriers, which hope to increase telephone use, Jain said. Harry Fenik, vice president of analysis for Zona Research, said the InfoSpace service was just a hint of things to come in an emerging wireless world. ''This is going to be a huge market over time,'' he said. ''Nobody believes the services that are being rolled out today are the beginning, middle and end of the world.'' He said Internet companies were scrambling to establish position under the assumption that people increasingly will use devices other than personal computers to connect to the Web. Indeed America Online Inc. Tuesday said its subscribers soon will be able to get their e-mail using the 3Com Corp.'s hand-held Palm digital organizers.
