Associated Press isi lanseaza o noua divizie de business, AP Gateway, care pune accent pe crearea de produse pentru noile platforme si pe obtinerea unor venituri mai mari pentru membrii sai. Tom Curley, CEO AP, spune ca “a venit o noua era pentru publishingul digital”, care ar putea fi “un moment definitoriu” pentru publisheri”.
AP Gateway include deja unele linii de business care se potrivesc acestei descrieri, intre care AP Mobile si Online Video Network. De altfel, AP lucreaza deja la o aplicatie cu plata pentru iPad, care va fi, de altfel, si primul produs al AP Gateway.
