Policelli was taking part in a trial launched by British mobile operator O2 and broadcaster Arqiva to deliver 16 channels - including bbc One, bbc Two, bbc News 24 and Sky News - to phones supplied by Finnish handset giant Nokia.

In 2002, Nagin, who had never run for public office, ran as a Democrat and won in a landslide. "I'm confident I appeal to just about every segment of the population here, and that's never happened in this city," says Nagin, who is black. He raised eyebrows again in 2003 when...
