Japanese start-up Yozan said it plans to sell cell phone airtime, paging and access to wireless local area networks (LANs) using 802.11b and other standards. The start-up believes it'll be the first wireless carrier to offer this hat trick of wireless services. Telephone equipment maker Ericsson is supplying Yozan with the wireless LAN equipment, Ericsson announced Tuesday. A Yozan representative did not reveal additional details of the company's plans, including when it plans to introduce the services.
