Rogers Communications and Yahoo! have agreed to a multi-year extension and expansion of their broadband collaboration.
With the contract extension, the partners plan to offer Yahoo!’s mobile products – Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 and Yahoo! oneSearch – to subscribers to Rogers’ wireless phone service.
The two have been presenting Rogers’ high-speed Internet access subscribers with a custom, co-branded portal and browser, and offering Yahoo! Search, as well as services and content from both companies.
Yahoo! Go 2.0 combines e-mail, search, an address book, a calendar, local listings, maps, Flickr photos, weather, news, sports and financial information. Starting this month, users can download Yahoo! Go 2.0 on select smartphone devices, including the Blackberry 8100, 8300, 8310, 8700, and 8800; Motorola Q9; Palm (TREO 750); and HTC Touch. The companies expect to expand the availability of Yahoo! Go 2.0 to Rogers Wireless customers in 2008.
In addition, Yahoo!’s industry leading mobile search service, oneSearch, will become the exclusive mobile Internet search service on the Rogers Wireless mobile portal.
