To boost the local paper readership, Newspaper websites are designed for mobile phones. Verve wireless that provides mobile editions of The Associated Press and the McClatchy Company papers is offering the technology for this.

Art Howe, Verve’s chief executive, said that local news content would always be appealing to people, even if it isn’t in print format. However, to be more functional, mobile paper sites “cannot be Internet lite.”

US currently has 95 million mobile Internet Subscribers and number of people access the web from their phones nearly doubled to 40 million since 2006.
