At the Mobile Asia Congress in Macau, Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) has announced that it has tied up with 9 new mobile operators for its OneSearch service; this takes Yahoo’s OneSearch tie-ups to twenty globally. Three of the new signups are Indian: state owned telco BSNL, Chennai based Aircel and Mumbai based BPL. Of these, only the BSNL deal is significant, since it is the third largest telco. Aircel and BPL are significantly smaller. Yahoo already has a tie-up with Idea Cellular, the sixth largest telco. Google, (NSDQ: GOOG) in India, powers the search for the largest telco - Airtel. OneSearch integrates content from websites, Flickr, Yahoo! Answers, Wikipedia, and has news, financial information, currency conversion etc. Recently, Yahoo had launched OneSearch on SMS in India.[via release]
