Social networking website MySpace introduced a free, ad-funded mobile version optimized for all U.S. carriers, calling into question the future of premium MySpace services available via AT&T, T-Mobile and Helio.

"Accessing the Internet from your mobile phone will soon be as common as text messaging and voice calling," said Fox Interactive's senior vice president of mobile John Smelzer.
