BSNL launched the first mPaper

ePaper is not yet much popular in India and BSNL has now launched mPaper i.e. Mobile NewsPaper for its GPRS Portal subscribers.

For those who don’t know, Portal is BSNL’s free GPRS service in which you can access only BSNL’s wap portal and some other sites which provide Value Added Services.

Coming back to the topic, mPaper will be available to both the PrePaid and PostPaid subscribers in the name of “MOBILE NEWSPAPER” (mPaper) the WAP portal of BSNL “Cell One Safari”.

The various features of the mPaper service are as follows :-
a. Auto image and text resizing.
b. All newspaper sections, except classifieds.
c. Search on the newspaper contents.
d. My store (for saving particular articles for future reference)
e. Sharing/sending of news through MMS.

BSNL had decided to allow this service for free for sometime as a trial period as soon as it was launched. But that already ended on 16.03.07. And from now on, the users will be charged as per fixed monthly charges which are as follows:-
One Newspaper @ Rs 30/- per month
Three Newspapers @ Rs 50/- per month

We can just hope the success of this service.
