Orange is planning to roll out advertising on its mobile portal.
The France Telecom owned operator announced it would be deploying a mobile ad network after a pilot earlier this year which saw announcements for brands including Adidas and Xbox put on the Orange portal.
Recent research predicts mobile advertising could generate $11.5bn by 2011.
