Lord Of The Rings Goes Wireless
We're seeing more and more movies using wireless as a promotional vehicle. The latest wireless movie tie-up is between Verizon and New Line Cinema. The two will work together to promote the next two Lord of the Rings films to Verizon Wireless customers. The movie industry was pretty quick to add the internet to its promotional mix and now its seems pretty natural to use the net next to check out trailers and movies times. While we're a long way form watching trailers on phones, hopefully messaging and WAP based movie promotions can help draw users to wireless data services.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
