Microsoft plans mobile DRM with NTT DoCoMo

By

Microsoft is planning on getting into the mobile digital rights management (DRM) market and has signed a deal with Japan’s NTT DoCoMo phone company. The deal is to standardize that provider’s phones with Windows Media Audio and Windows Media DRM.

Microsoft has big plans to get a universal DRM standard at some point, based around its own software, of course. The move is just in Japan at the moment, where Microsoft is not a big player in the media electronics market. However NTT DoCoMo does have a lot of pull in other countries. If it all works, then Microsoft could see its DRM system spreading.
