According to Rick Gleave, head of Trinity Mirror's interactive and

multi-platform news company. It's a big step. Look around you on trains
and buses. People 'live' on the mobiles. We're giving news and
information to people on the go."
Future plans include offering location based services based on users' postal codes. The Birmingham Post and other Trinity Mirror titles in Wales and Scotland are planning to launch the same service.
