Someday this will include Globalstar part 2: Nextel & AirTouch To Carry Wireless Microsoft

Wireless telephone customers of carriers AirTouch Cellular and Nextel Communications Inc. will be able to access Internet information from a special version of Microsoft Corp.'s online service starting in April, the companies said on Monday.

Jumping ahead of America Online, the No. 1 online service, the Redmond, Washington software giant said phone users would also be able to check e-mail from its free Hotmail service.

Chairman Bill Gates was to unveil the new service, dubbed MSN Mobile 2.0, in a speech at the Cellular Telephone Industry Association show here later on Monday.

The second-generation wireless service will also include information from Microsoft's Web travel agency, Expedia.com.

Starting in April, wireless phone users will be able to check flight status, itineraries and driving directions. Microsoft's wireless services allow subscribers to tailor what they see on their phones by visiting the Web site mobile.msn.com from their desktop computers to choose among various content options.

AOL chairman Steve Case plans to discuss his company's wireless plans in a speech at the conference on Wednesday.

Airtouch Cellular is part of the recently merged Vodafone Airtouch Plc.
