News Corp is pushing to have its MySpace Mobile application on the decks of more US operators now that the exclusivity for the AT&T (NYSE: T) Mobile deal is running out, reports Reuters. “We’re having conversations with every carrier now about deck placement,” Peter Levinsohn, president of Fox Interactive Media, (NYSE: NWS) told the Reuters (NSDQ: RTRSY) Media Summit in New York..."We think the mobile opportunity is significant,” he said. “We know for sure there’s a real strong demand for MySpace.”
The service went on Cingular a year ago with a period of exclusivity, although the service was already available on Helio. Deals for MySpace have also been signed in the UK, Australia, Canada and Japan.
