The mobile content package, syndicated by Roundpoint, can be tailored by each user depending on their region and will be available on the O2 Active portal and O2‘s Xda ll range.
As part of this deal, O2 Active and O2 Xda ll handheld users can now read content from the Financial Times alongside existing content from The Economist, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, The Times and the Spectator.
Hugh Griffiths, head of data products at O2, said: “We know that wallpaper, games, ringtones and football scores have become big business for mobile content providers but our customers are also telling us that they want to access personal, tailored and more business focused information on their mobile devices."
Regional information is also provided from the Evening Standard, Glasgow Herald and the Belfast Telegraph
