Microsoft will give its 20 million e-mail users in Europe access to messages via their mobile phones, the company said Thursday, unveiling a new alliance with European mobile operators. The initiative involving a joint venture between Danish mobile operator TDC Mobile International and Anglo-Dutch CMG Wireless Data Solutions is the latest step in Microsoft's plan to bring its software products and Web offerings to mobile devices, including phones, pagers and handheld devices. This is the first time Microsoft has made Hotmail accessible via mobile phones, the company said.
