AT&T and the New York Times have forged a deal that lets AT&T's wireless customers read a mobile version of the Times for free, Teleclick reports.

Content available to readers on the Times mobile Web site includes in-depth news, politics, business, sports and entertainment stories.

According to Mark Collins, AT&T's VP of consumer data, consumers want access to news as soon as it happens, and a mobile phone is a "powerful tool for staying connected and informed, regardless of where people are."
