The deal covers content related to brands ilke Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Dexter, Tom & Jerry, as well as POGO’s original productions such as Chhota Bheem, M.A.D., among others. Much of the content, it appears, will be mobile: wallpapers, ringtones, caller tunes and games, as embedded content, mobile memory cards and mobile platforms, on Hungama.com, DTH (Hungama has a deal with Tata Sky) and affiliate websites for the internet platform. Online Store, Mobile Pay Interestingly Hungama will manage Cartoon Network’s mobile store on www.cartoonnetworkindia.com enabling users to browse content and also purchase via SMS.

Surely, the online form factor makes it easier to browse content for purchase. search Expanding availability across platforms, the consumer will have on the go access to a plethora of entertainment choices.
