China Mobile Blackberry BIS Background


While the headquarters of China Mobile and RIM have decided the overall contract for the release of Blackberry Internet Service, it has not yet been developed on how the service is marketed. Each provincial branch of China Mobile has flexibility regarding the service and how it sells (eg. with what other products or services that could combine BIS or some provincial branches blackberry service does not include BIS). At this stage, the BIS service in China is not the functionality of web browsing via RIM's servers, although users are able to surf the web via the portal site of China Mobile.
