NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mobile ESPN, a start-up cellphone company backed by Walt Disney Co., will announce as soon as Thursday that it is closing down operations, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The newspaper said Mobile ESPN is hoping to reinvent itself as a content partner of bigger wireless carriers, citing people familiar with the matter. ESPN could not immediately be contacted.

Mobile ESPN, which launched earlier this year at the Super Bowl, has developed cellphones that feature a variety of sports-focused content and features.

But the newspaper said Mobile ESPN has struggled to build a customer base in a fiercely competitive cellular industry with much bigger players.

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

I could see this coming. Can't you just go on the internet. Cell Phones are redicilious. Most the kids in my school have one and spend $50 or so dollars a month. What a waste. They can be good for business people but for students, yikes.
