The BBC will partner Info2Cell, the major Middle East mobile information service provider, as a platform provider for its services in the region. The announcement of the use of BBC content forms the launch pad for Info2Cell's Arabic information services. The BBC is moving quickly to embrace new technologies that widen access to our commitment to news and information provision. The BBC is the world's biggest broadcast newsgathering operation, recognised for its impartial, reliable news coverage.
Trials are ongoing.
For telephones that do not support Arabic text, a version of the service that uses 'bitmap' graphics to feed Arabic is available.
