2003 was also a year of great growth for the wireless content industry.
WDIG is expanding its wireless content distribution business under
the Disney, ESPN and ABC brands. The company now offers more than
30 wireless content services, ranging from ring tones and graphics
to games based on Disney and ESPN properties to streaming video
news from ABC News. WDIG has distribution agreements with more than
34 carriers in 21 countries. In Japan alone, WDIG has built a wireless
business with more than 3.5 million paid subscriptions and is the
number one branded wireless content provider in that market.
The Internet is rapidly evolving as both an entertainment medium
and a commerce channel, and Disney is committed to leadership and
success in both realms. In 2004, the Walt Disney Internet Group
plans for continued growth in its profitable core businesses while
also launching new initiatives that further establish a premier
position for the company in the Internet medium.
