MNC Wireless Bhd, via its associate company IntJoors Sverige AB, has launched "Joors", the world's first free high-speed mobile internet service, in Sweden.

In a statement today, the Malaysia-based mobile and iternet media specialist
said it designed and developed the enabling and technical platforms for this
new and exciting service, while the mobile broadband network is provided by
TeliaSonera Mobile Networks AB in Sweden on a wholesale basis.

"We are extremely excited to be the world's first to offer an ad-supported
mobile broadband service in one of the most advanced telecommunications
markets," said its chief executive officer Chung Jaan Hao.

He added Joors is unique in that it creates a highly effective platform for
digital ad targeting and interaction, while providing consumers with a very
valuable commodity, mobile internet access.

Joors offers a one-of-a-kind service in the market that does away with
monthly fees or lengthy contract subscription periods.

Users only need to pay a one-time start-up fee for registration to get free
internet access, for normal usage, for every 30 days, at speeds of up to 10Mbps. -- Bernama
