Corbis Gets Into The Picture

With millions of images at its disposal, Corbis - one of the world's leading image banks founded by Bill Gates - sees higher data rates as an important driver of picture and video messaging, according to Wireless Week via Moco News.

"Corbis recently got into the wireless world in the United States with deals with AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless.

Recently it moved into handling the acquisition of film clips and TV shows, on special order, a service which should become more interesting for wireless subscribers with the coming of 3G phones.

"I see that with the advent of 3G and video phones hitting the market," says Mark Sherman, Corbis vice president for emerging markets and products, the idea will be exciting to be able to present classic Hollywood moments to send as a greeting."
