Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 13, 2006 2:17 PM

Yet another News Corp deal has been announced during Rupert's current visit; the China Daily reports:

China Mobile inks deal with News Corp

US media giant News Corp on Saturday clinched a deal with China Mobile, the world's biggest mobile phone operator by subscribers, to jointly tap into China's mobile music market.

The two firms will launch a wireless platform to enable music fans to upload their own music onto a website.

China Mobile will launch a service in its mobile Internet that enables mobile phone users to download the songs and vote for their favourites.

The name and address of the website were not released.

Channel [V] and Star TV, operated by News Corp, will produce music videos for the best songs as voted by Chinese Internet users and music professionals.
