According to sources the Yahoo announced a new mobile phone service that integrates e-mail, instant messaging & social networks. Marco Boerries executive Vice President for connected life at Yahoo told sources that the service will be launched this spring. Marco Boerries said “The key driving force in opening up the platform is putting content into the device. No company can create these ecosystems alone. We have to be open”.
Marco Boerries announced cell phone carrier T-Mobile will offer Yahoo Inc’s internet search service to its European customers in late March, shifting away from Google. T-Mobile will offer Yahoo mail and Yahoo messenger, as well as Yahoo’s onesearch, which provides news, financial information, photos, web pages and other services.

Yahoo on Monday rejected Microsoft’s offer, originally valued at USD 44.6 billion, or USD 31 a share. On Oneconnect, social networks will be integrated into contact lists, which in turn can be used to link into various ways of keeping in touch with friends, or keeping tabs on them allowing users access to a wide range of services from Yahoo messenger to Google talk to AOL instant messenger & msn messenger.
