The original partners were Eniro, Fonecta, Medio Systems, Yahoo!, Yell.com, as well as digital map solution provider AtlasCT and digital map data provider NAVTEQ. However access to Yahoo! did not become available until early September 2006, and then not for Australian users. In Europe one of the service providers is Yell.com, the European equivalent of Telstra subsidiary Sensis' Yellow Pages (just rebranded Yellow). Yesterday Sensis announced a new service, Yellow Mobile, /providing access the Yellow (Yellow Pages) directory database customised for mobile phones. A similar agreement with Nokia as that struck with Yell.com in Europe would be an obvious way to further extend access to Yellow directories from cellphones. However, so far, Live Search is the first, and only search provider on Nokia Mobile Search to be available in the Australian market. The service has 16 selectable region options, one of which is Australia. |
