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.


Mobile entertainment content from WDIG extends the magic of Disney and brands from across the Disney Company into the wireless medium.
