Yahoo! oneSearch also makes it easy for Rogers customers to shop in a catalogue of thousands of ring tunes, hundreds of games, the hottest graphics and more content which will be made available in the search results. Together, Rogers and Yahoo! are enhancing the search experience for consumers on mobile phones. Yahoo! revolutionized mobile search by developing Yahoo! oneSearch from the ground up - focusing on delivering consumers answers, not just Web links and further driving adoption of the mobile Internet," said Bruce Stewart, Vice-President and General Manager, Connected Life Americas, Yahoo! Inc. "Rogers is very forward thinking in delivering compelling and innovative mobile services to their customers. With their deployment of Yahoo! oneSearch, Rogers has led the way in mobile search in Canada and has again delivered upon its goal to meet consumer demand for compelling mobile services.
