SK Telecom, the largest mobile service provider in Korea, and Yahoo! Korea, the Internet’s leading search and directory company, announced on June 7 that they had the signing ceremony for "Cooperation for Mobile Internet Business."
The companies said that they will be able to continue to cooperate in providing information contents for mobile Internet service by combining SK Telecom’s wireless data network and Yahoo!’s Internet service. Under the agreement, SPEED 011 users will be able to access information on the items of their interest using their mobile phones in the text format if they make selections on the Yahoo! Korea Web page (URL: www.yahoo.co.kr) first. The service will become available for ten items including news, sports, economy and finance and continue to be expanded to cover other areas too.
SK Telecom and Yahoo! Korea will create a Joint R&D Team for Mobile Internet Service soon to share information on technical trends in the mobile Internet markets and jointly develop Internet contents.
