China Mobile suspends Sohu for spamming

Updated: 2004-08-16 10:07

Chinese Internet company Sohu.com says China Mobile has suspended Sohu as
a supplier of mobile phone picture services for one year due to
unsolicited marketing to some customers.

The move is part of a crackdown by the state-controlled mobile phone
company which is seeking to rein in aggressive marketing of mobile phone
services across ChinaMonday.

Earlier this week, rival Sina.com says China Mobile has temporarily
suspended its interactive voice response service.

Chairman and Chief Executive of Sohu.com says the one-year suspension and
the recent move by China Mobile to cut billing rates for messaging
services provided by Sohu and others will hurt Sohu's third-quarter
revenue and profit.
