Just because its Disney Mobile MVNO failed, that doesn't mean Disney is giving up on selling mobile content to tweens. The company last fall launched a mobile Web site that acts as a clearinghouse for all Disney mobile content. It also started experimenting with mobile marketing campaigns.
Now the company is taking its mobile offerings a step further.
