Yahoo And BT Click Together

British Telecom and Yahoo!, the global internet media company, have announced a joint venture which will simplify use of the internet for visitors.
Yahoo!Click will be a combined pay-as-you-go Internet access and web-guide, with no monthly fee or registration process. The service will be complimented by a customer helpline, and users will be able, thanks to help from BT, to link directly to Yahoo!’s web directory, and search and information services.
The service will feature on the Yahoo!UK and Ireland site, and calls will be charged at 1p per minute above local call rates.
Fabiola Arredondo, managing director at Yahoo!Europe, commented: “We think that the combination of ‘getting onto’ and ‘getting around’ the Net into one simple, value for money offer is a truly compelling consumer proposition. This launch marks the first of Yahoo!Europe’s local ventures into the internet access market.”
BT recently launched BT Click+ and a new email access service, Talk21 (see Newsline).
