Mobile ESPN: US out, India in
Disney's sports-oriented MVNO sitting atop Sprint's airwaves, Mobile ESPN, is nothing more than a memory for US customers. Having taken less than one full year to go from hot prospect to spectacular implosion, you might think that the folks in charge would've been left a bit too traumatized to even think about another launch. Alas, the service is getting a second chance at success in mobile-hungry India, though it'll take on less of an MVNO feel this time around. In fact, it's been relegated to nothing more than a WAP-based service offered through a variety of India's carriers, costing anywhere from Rs 50 to Rs 99 (a buck or two USD) per month. Good luck and godspeed, ESPN; we know you mean well.[Via MocoNews]

The ESPN WAP site in India and in other countries have nothing to do with the Mobile ESPN effort in the United States. ESPN is commited to serving fans across the world and in all platforms.
You will hear news about Mobile ESPN in the U.S. soon.
The business model is being redesigned for a better implementation. Mobile ESPN is here to stay.
