ROK Rocks WeFi Wi-Fi Portal

Mobile application and services outfit ROK Entertainment Group and WeFi, which operates an open, community-based global Wi-Fi network, have partnered to launch a co-branded Wi-Fi-powered mobile portal.

Dubbed WeROK, the portal gives users access to ROK’s e-mail and cheap SMS services as well as its free streamed mobile TV and social network services through WeROK’s global Wi-Fi network.

The WeROK app is a free download. At launch it works on all Wi-Fi-enabled Symbian S60 mobile phones and on PCs. The companies haven’t yet divulged their plans for expansions to additional handsets.
