NTT Docomo signs Angry Birds subscription deal with Rovio

Giant Japanese carrier NTT Docomo has agreed a deal with Rovio to bring a bundle of Angry Birds  content to its users.

Launching on 3 June, the material will be made available through NTT Docomo's Sugotoku subscription service.

This costs ¥380 per month (around $4), and will initially see Angry Birds  and all 52 episodes of Angry Birds Toon Season 1  animation made available.

Users will also get ¥700 (around $7)-worth of in-game items for the first month and ¥600 ($6) in subsequent months.

The Bad Piggies  and Angry Birds Space  games will be added to the service in October and December respectively.
