HONG KONG (Reuters) - Port to telecom conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa said on Monday its third-generation telecoms service clients would be able to access Microsoft's instant messenger, MSN, and Hotmail through their handsets.
The agreement between Hutchison's 3 Group and Microsoft Corp. would initially cover over 5 million customers of Hutchison's 3G networks in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Australia and Hong Kong.
Hutchison said in a statement that it planned to expand the service to other 3 markets.
The agreement enables 3 Group to offer access to MSN Hotmail and MSN Messenger from a browser or by a downloaded and pre-installed software client.
The access would allow Hutchison customers to use their existing MSN username and password on their 3 mobile, it added.
